white smoke coming from engine bay
So as the title states, today when I was driving to work, everything seemed fine until I parked...a little bit of white smoke drifted up from under the hood. When I opened the hood I heard a hissing/steaming sound coming from the Inside of my intake?
To set up the story we had a BUNCH of rain and on the last day of all of it, my gauge cluster stopped working ie RPM and speedometer. The next day everything seemed to be working fine until today. The problem with the gauges started about 2 days ago. Any Idea? Engine mode that could have part is my JWT Popcharger, upgraded grounding wires...I have other engine mode but all would not have anything to do with this.

oh you want some real help do you? Well I work at a perfomance shop for my occupation so let me see if i can be of any assistance to you.
Smoke coming from inside the intake? and a hissing noise.. this doesn't help at all.. smoke was probably from the water hitting your hot engine
To
am obvious wiring problem,a bad ground.. find a fsm and look over all the grounds and check connector connections
what is a mode? take off the grounding wires and connect all the factory grounds. other than that sounds like your not going to be able to fix this yourself

Predictive text on my phone is still learning, I meant mods not mode...the smoke dissipated before I found the location but the hissing/overheating sound was coming from inside the Intake.

your description of the problems only leads me to vauge speculations.. Although the tach issue is most likely a grounding problem, or a connection problem. start your search in areas that YOU'VE messed with recently.. start with the obvious first.. other than that Come back with more info.

I'll put more details when I can get to a computer...the grounding kit and Popcharger have been on for a long time with no Issues. I've had zero Issues until the storms came through. I dont think water got in the engine since it runs fine but Ill double check the connections tomorrow morning.
