honda CRX sohc zc (same as d16a6) 1991 STANDARD


Problem: After some light spirited driving, I noticed smoke coming from under the left side of my car. The teperature gauge reads hot. When I slow the car down and "step of the gas," the temperature immediately cools down.

Experiment: I reved my engine for 3 mins in order to replicate the above mentioned problem. I pin pointed the problem to a HOSE that is attached to the intake manifold towards the driver side of the car. The leaky hose is leaking from both the clamp and it also has a hole in the middle of it. The hose leaks onto the alternator and other hot car parts, which causes smoke.

Question: What is the name of that tiny hose, and what is the name of the part that it is connected to? Why would this cause the car to overheat?


Remedy: I will replace the leady hose and the thermostat at the same time
(all ready have one at the house.)
