COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
I have an EM1 that has an overheating issue. I found that as i pour coolant into the radiator it runs straight out of the eval canister. There's no coolant in the oil(it's clean) , there is no pressure in the radiator. What can cause this? PLEASE HELP.

Re: COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
If it's going straight from the radiator into the charcoal canister, either your block is severely damaged, you have hoses hooked up wrong somewhere, or you're pouring it in the wrong hole.
There's also the remote possibility that you're trolling us.
Post CLEAR pictures of the radiator, as well as the two hoses running to and from it.

Re: COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
not trolling, and my car was overheating and i was able to take the radiator cap off with no problem no steam nothing and the hose taking the hot coolant to the radiator could easily be squeezed together. if the block was cracked wouldn't there be oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil?

Pressure test the block. Recheck the routing of the hoses. You were asked for pictures. Post them. TBH I'd need to see some video to prove that this is just you trolling.

Re: COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
Let's start at the beginning. Is this a swap, or is the motor the same one that's been in the car? What, if anything, happened leading up to the massive coolant loss? Have you modified ANYTHING on the motor?
Coolant and oil mixing only happens if the head gasket or sleeve(s) are damaged. A crack elsewhere on the block could let coolant or oil leak freely without mixing. It's time for you to get under the car, have a friend try to fill the radiator, and see where exactly the water is coming from.

Re: COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
ok i just got the car the supposedly the engine (b16a2) was just put into the vehicle, and the head was sent to a machine shop and resurfaced and had it put together, but i am going to the shop where the car is being stored for now and take a video to show the full issue and tell you everything i know. i will post the video in about 20 minutes

Re: COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
^Post pictures of how all coolant and vacuum hoses are routed. Was an IACV coolant hose possibly mistakenly connected to the EVAP canister?

Re: COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
In theory, this^ is the right answer. In practice, it could potentially worsen the matter because the shop has already proven itself to be incompetent. Do you want them doing more damage? I might just cut my losses, and deal with the aftermath in small claims court.

Re: COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
The canister has two hoses on top. The larger one goes to the hard metal line on the firewall that goes back to the vapor space of the gas tank. The smaller one goes to the purge solenoid mounted on the fuel rail. The canister may have a big hose on the bottom; that one should just be open to the air.
I can't see in your pictures where the hose out of the IACV on the back of the manifold goes. It should go to the large metal coolant pipe that runs across the back of the engine.
In other words the small coolant hose connections are: Intake manifold next to the U shaped bypass hose -> two nipples on the bottom of throttle body -> two nipples on the IACV -> thermostat to water pump pipe

Re: COOLANT LEAKING INTO CHARCOAL CANISTER
Do not drive the car any more until you fix this.
Your last round of pictures didn't show anything useful. On the pipe across the back of the engine, which is full of coolant, there should be a nipple which connects to a hose going to the IACV. Not the canister.
There are three metal lines that run under the car from the gas tank to the engine bay right at the firewall. One goes to the fuel filter, one to the fuel pressure regulator, and one to the canister.
