So my dad tried to fix my LS because it was supposly having leaking problem or something. there was nothing really wrong with it before. So I asked him what he was trying to do and he said he was trying to "bypass" something.. and i saw him unplug a tube that connects to the engine. Now the car wont even start....Any ideas to whats going on?

Thanks

 

he unplugged the MAF.

but take a pic of what he disconnected.

 

Heres a pic of what you requested.

I circled what he unplugged.


Heres a Video of whats going on.

Ok, he unplugged the hose but didn't plug the hole in the plenum or the hose itself? What the heck was leaking? Need more info. Sounds like what Pure said, make sure the AFM is connected.

 

that hose goes to your power steering idle up valve...plug it back in....or plug the hole in your intake and plug the hose

 

The hose is in.. Everything is in, and all the tubes are back in place. I have no clue whats going on.

 

This is plugged back in all the way? Make sure...

 

I'm pretty sure he didn't unplug that.. But ill check.. Everything was plugged back in as it was before. But the car still wont start.. Is it possible that its the control switch?

 

sounds like it starts and dies, vacuum line routing is likely off.

 

So what do you suggest i do now.. its been dead for like a week now..

 

I've been outside for atleast a good hour and 45 mins now.. I think Im getting some progress.. now it will nearly start up but it dies. Now White smoke comes out of the exhaust pipes for a good 5-10 mins. New problem?
