Thread: Idle is fine on start up but then!!!

ok so drove it today and did a little pull on it and the coolant elbow fell of the pissed all over the belts battery and fuse box.. any idea how that could have been pushed out? they are both brand new elbows.. time to pull all that crap out and clean it all yay there goes my sunday!!!!

so took the belts off and the alternator and got the elbow out.. the elbow blew out and in the process cracked the other end of the elbow.. idk how there can be that much pressure but anyway bought aluminum elbows just need to be patient and wait for the to come.. in the mean time i will check all the wires on the motor for damage or something...

put the new elbows in and put that back together and and as i was filling the system back up and i realized i forgot to bleed the system when i replaced the radiator.. (duh) so the idle doesn't jump all over the all over the place anymore.

I also pulled all the tape off the engine harness and OMFG splices everywhere and I had to peel the wires apart... so I don't think it is worth doing it one wire at a time and still using any of the old wire so idk what i want to do yet

Pulled the whole harness off the car soldering all the splices and taping everything and putting new split tube and checked the fuses and fuse 21 was blown replaced that and car runs great.. finally all the hard work pays off. Now time to tackle the interior light problem
