Hey kick! Back again.
well our 95 16v 1.6l sidekick is all registered after passing smog with flying colors. but while taking it out the other day me and my friend smelt coolant. i pulled over right away and saw one of the rear hoses (heater hose?) had a bad crack and leaked out a ton of coolant. The temp gauge never hit red.
Well when i got it back home i fixed the hose but when i started it up it was surging. Figured it wait till today to test Idle air control valve. The surging would stop if i would wiggle hoses attached to the idle air control vale so i figured one might be loose or causing vacuum problems.
Well today the car wouldnt start at all, just turn over violently. No sludge on the dipstick but slight sheen in radiator (very slight) fluid. also water keeps shooting out of the radiator why turning over. If i keep cap on it fills up the overflow tank. Any ideas where to start?
12 code all day.
