Nothing happens if its not full. It just injects it at start up if the temps are cool. Its a mix of coolant and water, i beleive 90% coolant and 10% water

I figured if he couldnt read the cap on it to figure out what goes in it that he'd be lost getting it off. Anyway if you do remove it they slide off the bracket and sometimes are stuck pretty good. Just cap the line for the injector.

Well, he's gotta learn sometime so pulling it off might be a good experience for a novice



And here I thought that was why we owned these cars, so we could take things out of the engine bay and never put them back.
