Subject: Re: Troubleshooting...IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!! by bogus on 2013/1/23 16:13:47 Matt - you are right. Today... first drive... last night when I did the knock sensor swap, the block was all but dry of coolant... I never got to "burp" the system... What I think happened was when I shut down, the coolant continued to heat for a bit, opened the stat, it all expanded out in the radiator and filled it! I filled the overflow, and engine temp never got about 200 on my drive in. the gutted cat sucks on the road! It really kills low end torque!!! The first drive was uneventful. Started out with a bit of a miss, but it cleared as I drove... more then likely some gick on a plug and it burned off. Have a high idle condition, there must be a vacuum leak somewhere. Otherwise, it stunk to high-heavens, but as I drove, it got less and less ignorant. I will top off with more coolant at lunch and again when I leave tonight. I call this a success, so far! |
