F@#k - Form A Gasket Inside Plenum!?

[starscream_r32]

Guys,

I took off the throttle body to clean my air reg.

When i chucked it back on there was a small leak (on one side) even though i had a gsket (old gasket was fine - no rips issue).

So i purchased some form a gasket (from supercheap) to seal the tiny gap.

Let it dry over night and continued to drive my car.

Stupid me should have checked that it was sealed properly but i didn't.

Having been driving it for a week have car keeps on stalling when i back off the pedal when driving (i've got another thread regarding this issue - could be related to this?).

So i just checked yesterday and it's still got a leak.

Just pulled the throttle off today and fcuk me dead i've got the form a gasket all inside my plenum and on my actual throttle body flap.

So there two questions are;

1. Is the car screwed with some residue/form a gasket inside the plenum? Do i need to pull it off? Clean? - Pretty sure its stuck there as it's sticky/dried up.

2. Could this be the issue for my car stalling.

Problems, problems and more problems!

FMD!

Thanks.

I personally wouldn't worry too much about the gasket goo. It sets as a very soft rubber and if it ended up in your combustion chamber it would melt and fire away from the heat.

As for your stalling issues, do you have an atmo venting blow off valve?

I was worried that it would get stuck in the chambers? but if it will burn away then i guess it would be alright then! =)

as for bov - yes i do.. refer to this thread for all the info required: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/351720-engine-stalling/

any kind of air leak could do that.

when you use the gasket goo - you dont need to use a whole lot if you're mating flat surfaces because as soon as you bolt everything on it will expand and seep out the sides.. also make sure you go the whole way around - not just the part thats leaking.

just connect a recirculating BOV and check if that fixes your issue. at least we would be able to rule that one out.
