Low engine coolant light on???

mr.w · 05-06-2007, 01:48 PM

I'll do the block test at school when I get a chance but for now I'm a little busy taking NATEF tests. I'll get on the block and post results after I make my breaks stop squeaking(another problem yet to be solved).

Damn thankx IHATEHACK i appriciate this alot man. I just talked to my cousin and he said He will help me tear the block apart. hes built motors before but just honda motors. Ill go and buy the block test tomorrow after i get out of class and ill try and post pictures(if the damn thing lets me though always says its to big) hmm i think i might be spending alot too just on buying parts. Such as timing gun torque wrench and etc. Oh yea ima replace the timing belt too and the intake manifold hoses. I bought new valve cover seals alrdy and new hose technique kit (bought that alrdy from suprasport)

Thanx again man i APPRICIATE this so much. will in two weeks my motor will get torn apart and buy buy car and camping trip..hello crazy bills

last thing if i do a compression test whats the correct compressoin rating i should PRAY to see

Compression test won't tell you shit about your head gasket condition, a block test will.

I had 180's across the board with a blown head gasket, I had 2 cylinders at like 175 though.

went to school yesterday and i saw a guy with a blk MKiii with a 2jz swap in it so i asked him about my coolant issue he took one damn look at it and fixed it like it was nothing cuz he took it for a spin (i was in the car as well) and no more check engine light wth. all he did was take out the resivor checked the sensor and know its fix. i know he didnt brake it buh im just happy its gone. but i will still do the block test IHATEHACK so ill post it when its done after i get my timing correct tho

IHateHacks · 05-09-2007, 05:51 PM

Yeah, what did he do, unplug the 2 wire white connector?

Take the 2 10mm bolts off that hold the overflow bottle on, and see if the sensor is still connected.
