well i have the idle problem like so many others do. how do i bleed the coolant so this doesnt happen? every one says bleed the coolant, bleed the coolant, but no one cares to tell me how. is it the same as flushing the coolant cause i know how to flush and fill.

isnt there a plastic switch at the bottom of the radiator thats bleeds the coolant?

Not always ... B18C doesn't have it, B18B does I believe, not sure about other B series or D series, though. I had to have the hole in my coolant outlet drilled and tapped in order to put the bleeder bolt in. That is BY FAR the easiest way to do it.

so, you on the engine when the rad cap is open?

That would be the drain. For draining the radiator.

That would be the best way. However draining the coolant, and using a tool made by/called Air Lift would be best. It sucks the air out of the system and creates a vacuum, then it sucks fresh coolant back in.

so for my D i just leave the cap open and that will take care of it for me then right? is that what you people are trying to say? hahahah im back where i started no one knows exactly. has anyone actually done this first hand on a 1994 honda civic Dx coupe?

fgraciano1980

my 95 ex with the d16z6 has a bleed bolt. its located where the top radiator hose and cylinder head meet.

cyang08

ok. hum.... if it is where the top radiator hose is then wouldn't i have to turn the car on and let the coolant come out of the bleeder? so then SCHLIT is wrong then right? fgraciano1980 how did you bleed it on your car?

Right in front of the VTEC Solenoid

Alright, My Z6 has one..Its easy.

Let your car get warm, turn the screw to let the air out, and as soon as coolant starts to come out then close the screw. Done

i was wondering... do ALL years have this? i've noticed most 96+ cars do not have a bleeder valve. My shop teacher says it is because the radiator is configured so that the air travels to the top of the cap instead of that screw

My y8 doesn't have one. If you don't have one use this method.

thanks i know what a bleed bolt is, its just that i never bleed coolant before. i done clutch and brakes only.

Walterronny

what means when you say Heat control should be set to MAX , you means that the car should be warm up?

if you have an air bleeder its by your thermostat housing..

just open it up and leave the rad cap off and let it idle for awhile.. then top it off.

reed857

itsnt there a way to get the coolant running without getting your car up to 210 degrees. cause that **** is hot
