Wierd idle after radiator busted???
Hey guys, the other day on the way to work I noticed that my car was smoking a little from under the hood. I pulled into the parking lot and found out that my radiator was leaking and my car was overheating. The car started to idle up and down from ~1000 rpm to ~1500 rpm over and over. I replaced the radiator today and I still have the weird idle issue. No leaks and the radiator is holding fluid just fine. I don't have any engine lights popping up, but i'm starting to think that my engine light doesn't work even though it lights up when you turn the key. Anyways, thanks in advance!

Grumble don't be mad but I can't find the bleeder screw. I found a pic and it showed the screw behind the headers? That can't be right!

I thought all B-series had bleeder screws. No biggie. Do it how we D-series guys have to. Park on an incline. Open the rad cap.Set heater to hot (doesn't have to be on) Run engine til fan comes on twice and no bubbles in coolant.
If you still have idle issues report back. This is the easiest and first method of dealing with idle issues like yours.
