Hey

I have a 94 RX-7 and yesterday i was driving my car just a little when i returned home, and pulled up in the garage i noticed there was some smoak coming out from under my hood, I opened my hood and saw one of the hoses going into my engine, the coolant hose that is in the front middle, was shotting colant at a very high pressure though a small hole in the pipe and it was causing steam. My coolant was all sitting in the floor of my garage in a matter of moments. Now i will need to replace the hose i was wondering if anyone could help me, on what i should do.

i will have to take the intake out and i am not sure what else.

i have a few skills when it comes to working on the 13B-REW but not much

is the engine damaged from, this and is there any other probloms that this could cause or trigger?



thanks for all your help

no damage as long as the temp did'nt go up. as far as the hose, if you could take a pic so we can see which hose it is, that will be easire to tell you what to do to change it

I thought you may enjoy reading these.



















My advice is..

Just replace the hoses and burp the system.Check the coolant level sensor to make sure that the plastic isn't crack and leaking as well.

It is the little black sensor that screws into the front of the filler neck under the crossover pipe.

amp,



Thanks for the link to Samco! Unfortunately, it looks like I should move to the Canary Islands so I can have a local distributor Might have to get someone from around here to contact them to be a distributor.
