Okay, with the intake manifold and throttle body off, if I look down into the rat's nest and move the solenoids and their holding bracket the you have to loosen to get the manifold off, I see pools of antifreeze/coolant. What line runs there?

 

whats up bro have you burbed your car

 

all that is is getting all the air out of the system

 

BUMP! Need more help please! 3g1t, I'm sorry, but puddle of coolant shouldn't be sitting on top of the engine block.
Thanks again.

 

The coolant lines running to the TB. There is one receptacle on the side closest to the firewall, and another underneath.

A suggestion: The engine bay of an FD is pretty tight and complicated. If you haven't taken much of the engine apart before, you should get hold of a factory service manual, and study the engine section while looking at your motor, before you suddenly start tearing into it with abandon. Otherwise, you probably will miss the cause of your coolant leak, and you may possibly screw something up without knowing it. Have some patience. Just a suggestion...

 

I have a copy of the service manual but don't see where it shows a good diagram of the rat's nest. Any ideas? Also, in the coolant chapter of the manual it shows one coolant tube running underneath the rat's nest. Could that be it?

THanks

 

bump! What is that coolant tube that runs underneath the rat's nest?

 

I'll have to look tommorow but I dont remember seeing any coolant tubes under the rats nest.
