my idle fluxation has been narrowed down to my fitv due to the "finger over the port in the tb" test.

I couldnt quite get the hose off that fits directly on to the fitv, so i moved on up the hose and just disconnected another tube that connected to it. I understand that coolant is supposed to leak out, but how much exactly? right now i have a full cup of coolant that poured out and theres still probably more if i angle the hose downwards.

(this is right after i ran the "finger" test, so this means i had the car started momentarily beforehand. ) ... the car is still cold though.

anyone?
