Sweet smelling is a telltale sign of coolant. Did you use 4 studs in the corners to guide the intake down? That makes life much easier, since it'll go down straight, and helps keep the intake gaskets from shifting. I'm betting one or both of the gaskets shifted, and you have a leak between the intake and the heads, so you're getting unmetered air, and some coolant into the intake passages. That would cause both issues...

Sounds like these things were not present before you did the intake swap Color of smoke aside ... seems like something is hosed You are just gonna have to tear into it and have a look see Good Luck Grady

do you have the filter screen "mesh" beneath the PCV valve, on the back side of the lower intake? mine managed to drop out one time while it was off, it would blow smoke under throttle until it was replaced. This is obviously not the cause of the CEL or your other issues.

A definite possibility. Are there any vac leaks?

Yes, the timing could be off and a vacuum leak is also a distinct possibility. If you check for both, I think you'll find the cure to your problem.
