Is something leaking (oil) onto your exhaust? Have you had the chance to verify if any fluids are leaking at seals near the back of the motor?

How would that cause sticking idle???
The sticking idle could be interference in the throttle body. Visually check the throttle plates and make sure they are clean and free to move.
I'll have to check it all. I just don't know what it burning. Doesn't look like anything is touching headers
And it just started. I had been driving it for a day or two
Hanging idle or just sticking? The hanging idle I was referring to possibly from an air leak or unmonitored air getting into the motor from a gasket leak at the lower intake manifold, which would also account for the smoke/burning from oil leaking onto exhaust. Just a thought, but its kind of hard to ascertain what the problem could be based on your posts. Best bet is to just dig into the car to see what you can find.
I drove it again last night and it drove perfect until it got hot again and started smoking again
Shame to hear it's still giving you troubles. Car sounds like a monster at idle.
I took apart the intake and throttle body. Couldn't find anything. Put it back together and it works now. Weird
You might have repaired an air leak or loose electrical connector.
Glad you are back on the road,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I would like to thank billet pro shop and Jdm engineering for everything. Went through a lot with the car but you guys have the car exactly the way it should have been from the factory. This thread can die now
What else did billet pro shop do?
They built the motor and gave great advice throughout the whole ordeal. Same with everyone on this thread. I appreciate all the advice I was given
