Subject: Re: Backfire from throttle body... by DEN 14 on 2013/11/10 2:00:30 Thanks for all the input gentlemen! Glad to have you all as resources! Got the opti in today. Not really all that difficult. New plugs and wires installed and such. Cleaned all the gunk out around the area since I had the chance. Water pump is ready to go in. I had a person tell me to go ahead and start the car without the pump in so I can determine that the car is running. Is this a good idea? Seems like it should be okay, but I am looking at the open coolant ports on the block right above the opti and that makes me a little nervous. Thought I would throw that out there. Another thing I saw on a thread was that there are O-rings at the front and the back of the water pump coupler. I did not see any sign of O-rings when I removed the pump. Are there supposed to be O-rings there? Doesn't seem like they would do much of anything but I am known to be wrong. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks again! |
