put in a ford explorer intake in my friends 5.0, and it runs a little rough on idle and has steam coming out of both tail pipes. I think it could be lower intake gasket on wrong, like it shifted or moved on installation because we did not use the locating pins(keeps gaskets from moving on installation). But I thought I would ask around before removing everything again.

sounds like a good guess

oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!! ok another guess is the we put the stock throttle body (60mm) back on but the gasket was all ****ed up. So me being in a rush put on my new 70mm tb to egr gasket. Could this be it?

if you think your gasket moved i'd stop driving it before it hydrolocks or anything. if that happens youll be in the market for a new engine.

steam from the pipes is normal. its usually condensation evaporating and whatnot

I think it is because i put a 70mm tb gasket on a 60mm tb.

that would just create a vac leak

but i thought the egr spacer has coolant going through it?
