I have a couple diagrams of exactly where those hoses are.

I've got big hands, and short, (sorta) thick arms.... this might be a bummer.

 

Turns out I'm a dumbass.... if I had inspected that heater hose, before starting the engine, I would have noticed that there was no hose clamp on it. The hose popped off, and showered my engine, windshield, and garage floor with Prestone.

Now, how do I get my oil pressure down? Oil level is topped-off.



Just as a clarification, however... an old buddy of mine who has only steered me wrong, a couple times, in my life, said that DexCool antifreeze will work fine, in a rotary. Before I go dumping this orange stuff in my radiator... is it safe?

 

dex cool does NOT MIX WITH ANY OTHER COOLANT.



and dex cool sucks dick.



stick with regular green 50/50 mix of water and ethylene glycol.

Yeah, the red **** is ****. When mixed with the green stuff it turns into a sandy like gel, and closes off coolant passages, GM has a huge lawsuit against them right now, because of this bullshit.



NEVER USE IT IN ANY CAR!!

 

Good to know. Thanks.



Funny how it doesn't warn you about that, ANYWHERE on the ****** bottle.

Right now, the car is running on straight Prestone antifreeze, with no water. I think most of that crap got spewed out, during my little heater hose mishap... but, the weather is pretty consistently below 30, anyways.... so, I'll just keep the straight antifreeze going, for now.

 

yea prestone yellow is a good choice, it might already be mixed with water, check the bottle.

I have to flush the radiator, first... I think it's for the best. Is there an easy way to do it? I've never done a rad flush, at home.



I took your advice, though.... yellow Prestone is going in, once I clean the system.



I'm prolly gonna check for vaccum leaks, this weekend. Got someone to give me a hand with that. I hope to God it's not the EGR valve. I've also got a new TPS and a new MAF on the way. A local guy is letting me try out the parts, to troubleshoot, before he tries to sell me anything. Good prices too... I think I'm gonna use this cat, a lot, in the near future.

 

i am having the same problem, my compression is fine,i have new AFM,it wont idle under 3k..please let me know what your problem is so i can check it on mine.cheers...

 

I have the peak brand extended life anti freeze in my car for over 10 years now.

 

rob i told you to get rid of your dexcool. its deadly. but youve been having good luck with it so maybe id just leave it alone.



meh.
