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

 

use a towel to soak it up for now

 

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.

 

,3,5,&6 are. I was able to get most of it out with a turkey baster, I'm away from home at school, I was just trying to think of a way to get the coolant in the cylinders. Thanks for the input guys

 

compressed air.....

 

Well getting coolant into the cylinders isnt going to hurt anything you could just pull the plugs, then put some rags over the holes & spin the motor over it will blow all the coolant right back out. I AM assuming this is a 2j

 

So basically pull all the plugs, cover the holes with rags and turn it over?

 

<----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..

 

I don't have access to compressed air. Could I use the stuff that you clean keyboards with?

 

when this happend to me a while back, my mechanic said he vacuumed it all out. the rest will be burned off when you run it a bit. Just enough to keep the spark plugs dry
