Swimming Spark Plugs
Long story short, the coolant hose above the spark plug valley that connects to the bottom of the throttle body, has been leaking coolant into the spark plug valley Do you guys have an idea to get the coolant out of there?
Thanks, AD

Is your car misfiring? if it is you need to pull out the plugs and dry everything out. best way to do so is with a air hose and a bunch of absorbent shop towels.
Initially I would wash the effected areas with water, radiator fluid is a bit corrosive and will damage your rubber,plastic parts if its just allowed to sit. Once you are confident that everything is clean just dry it up and you should be good to go.

<----mechanic...save yourself some time, just blow out the valley with compressed air....some brake clean or carb clean will get rid of any coolant residue, and one last blow down with the air nozzle will insure that all the brake/carb clean is evaporated..
