Little crack
Hey guys so I seem to notice the car would randomly shoot antifreeze out and after It did that and left a huge smoke it would stop but it seemed to be an hour into driving I guess until pressure builds up enough it shoots out. I believe itās coming by the reservoir tank because of the coolant dry spot on top of the header. I did change pressure cap but itās still doing it but could air leaks cause this? Or perhaps the reservoir tank is bad?
Yea those tanks go bad over time, the caps can go bad but less likely, the hoses leading to the resevoir could be bad (bleeder and main lower hose)
I replaced with new oem tank and cap to be safe.
If your overheating a new tank and cap will boil over thoā¦
Hey I found the leak the reservoir is cracked and I saw it spraying out I assume it sprayed out there from when thereās a a lot of coolant there so thatās why every time it was low and it wouldnāt do it for a while until pressure built up enough to shoot out
Iām suffering from misfires at idle and cold starts.
I think I need to check this hose (PN 07L103217B - Vent Hose, Crank Case to MAF). I see that itās the one with the square connector to the pass side air intake hose. What direction is the check valve suppose to allowāāone way from crankcase to air intake?
[answer] should be one way into the crankcase
If I only read this part instead of looking at picturesā¦lol. Got her out. Did the duties.
.forgot that damn starter groundā¦shat! Looks like my sub-frame needs dropped
.Get the hoist . Sprawwl and I . Well he got me going right yesterday. If I only read this .
Lol
I totally forgot about this forum lol
Glad it helped. This was back from when I had no idea what the hell I was doing but now I know everything with this car lol
Great build, thanks for sharing. if you have time share an update on how the car is running.
The car is running strong itās at about 110k miles now. I hasnāt had any issues. I did change all the coolant hoses to silicone hoses since my brother was taking it to Chicago from NY. Since he will be keeping the car there for a long time so I prepped for the worse and changed all those hoses. I personally drove it there. Did a straight 12 hour 800 mile run and it ran smooth and then I took the minivan back home to NY shortly after. A killer drive since I stayed up for 24 hours straight but the car is running good otherwise
Thatās great to hear because it proves that after āengine outā maintenance and addressing the known defects, you can have a reliable car for a few years.
Did you gut your cats?
Unfortunately I never had the time to do it but I definitely need to gut them whenever the car comes back
