Default i need help with my 97 honda civic ex

ok so what happened was my car went through a puddle of water well actually it went in to a lake of water the puddle was to my head lights and well the car stalled and i had to tow it home and then i took the water out of the motor and i changed all the fluids and it worked again and it was running for like a week then the engine blew up ok so i replaced the motor with a stock d16y8 the motor i had in my car and how the raditator fluid is leaking out from some where i checked the hoses and its good and im not getting heat to the car its cold... so i dont know what is wrong if someone could help me it would be great it seems to leak from the passager side of the car from under....

How about you edit that post and put some spacing with punctuation in there?

If youre not getting heat, check the heater hose near the firewall, slightly off-center to the left

dude sounds to me you never bled your coolant system. what could be happeneing is that your cars water pump is pumping, and because your cant compress air, the coolant is getting pushed out somewhere else.

and you say that all the hoses look ok? well did you check for cracks in all of them?!?! because coolant leaks can be a bitch to diagnose.

please bleed your coolant system, and find that hose and replace it!

Don't use that **** unless you already have a new radiator on the way.
It works some of the time but think about all that **** running through your block.

yeah i know it deals with the water pump but my car when your going around 55 mph the car begins to bog like its gonna stall and i dont know what the cause of it..

and well after a while the heat will start kickin in but the air smells like coolant so i dont know well i guess the cars eating the coolant some how? and when it bogs theres a big cloud of smoke that come from the back of my exaust..

Check your oil, if it looks like chocolate milk you have a blown head gasket. If all is well there check your heater hoses.

take your oil filler cap off and see if it is full of white ****. sounds to me like your have a blown headgasket, or coolant is getting into your motor somehow. change your oil and see if it looks like a milkshake. also check where the coolant hoses go into the heater core. there will be two hoses running to your firewall.
damn that guy/\/\/\/\ beat me to most of it. lol. you said it is leaking onto the ground???? how bought you jack it up and slide under it and figure out where it is coming from.

White smoke=burning coolant=blown head gasket.

i dont know what the hell they meant by TC3 but you should probably contact this shop because you are getting coolant in your motor

man if you blew your head gasket between your combustion chamber and water jacket you must have had a damn nasty detonation. and dounuts for dollars tells me thats probibly not the only thing wrong with your car ( assuming its a blown head gasket )

i hope you dont have a coolant line hooked into an intake manifold vacuum line. that would be the reason of loss of coolant and/or why your burning antifreeze.
