Car idle jump and water from exhaust pipe

Can someone please help me. My car has water dripping from the exhaust pipe. The rpms bounce at idle and make my car jump and shake. It sounds like my exhaust is all clogged up or something. Thanks
 


Water from the exhaust is normal until the engine has ran for a while and burned all the condensation out of the pipes. Do you have any codes?
 
i just have an egr code because the egr was deleted. But the car started jumping before the egr was taken out
 


i took the sensor out and it still does the same thing. There's also some white smoke coming out the exhaust.
 
it used to be a lot of white smoke but then i changed the lim gasket so now theres barely any. The little bit i saw might just have been leftover or something.
 


yea its on but just a p0403 and p0405 because of an egr delete. The car was jumping before the egr delete too
 
You took the MAF out of the TB, or just disconnected the harness to it?

Check for vacuum leaks. Look under the snout of the S/C at the T and see if it's cracked. You can use carb or brake cleaner to spray around all the vac. connections to see if you hear a difference in the motor while it is running. If you find a spot that makes the motor change tone then that is a vac leak.

As stated, water from the exhaust is normal. Now, the white smoke may or may not be normal. There is a chance that it's normal condensation in the air if you noticed this while it was cool outside. If it was 95* out and you see white smoke then you are burning coolant.
 


The hesitation could be from the disconnected maf unless you just recently disconnected it for troubleshooting purposes.
