Just swapped on a Skunk 2 IM, AEM fuel rail and accel injectors....Since the skunk 2 said that every line (i.e coolant and vacuum) would be used again...along with all the sensors
Def wrong tho....so i had to put it together with the hoses i had....
Got evrything in and took it for a spin....started to leak radiator fluid...but i cant find out where in the hell its coming from....
Its hard as **** to get behind there and look at the stuff...but when i lifetd the car to see underneath...i couldnt see where it was coming from...
Its coming from somewhere behind the block?...could it be a waterpump?...or just something i did wrong?....TIA

 

did you use a new intake manifold gasket??? coolant goes threw the pass side of it. also check all hoses that u disconnected...

 

I used a new IM gasket....itsa pain in the *** to do but i guess i will have to take it off so that i can see back there..
Is there any other thing that could be wrong?....does coolant flow through the throttle boby?...cuz i have a line that runs up to it...but it isnt leaking from there....
Damn this thing is frustrating.....
does anyone have any pics of what line goes to wjere....would really help me out...or some sort of diagram that they could make and where all the hoses for coolant and air go?....its a 91 crx si

 

Start the car and look at the intake manifold where it meets the head from the passenger side of the car. Check for any leaks. Did you use a new gasket? or one of those thermal gaskets?

 

i used a new gasket..it doesnt leak from the line that goes into the pass side of the IM where it meets the block..its somewhere behind there....underneath of the IM on the block somewhere i think....

 

i'd get an adjustable mirror to locate the leak. maybe a loose hose clamp on the iacv?

 

i tried a mirror....so much **** tho....its hard to get behind there and see even with that....Ill try again tomorrow...im going to be pissed if i have to take it off and put a new gasket on when i just put one on 2 days ago....
I know its not coming from the iacv....uhhh...****** thing...
Anyone got a diagram..i hope i dont have any lines wrong...i dont think i do tho...cuz the car runs good

 

did you clean the old gasket off REAL GOOD

 

yeah..i cleaned it real good....took a lil chisel and scraped off the rest...ill have to look at it tomorrow...thanks all...any others?

 

Bump....
any other ideas..
anyone with a diagram

 

That's the only place that it's prone to leak at ...the water passage where the IM meets the head. Especially since you just installed the IM. That is, if it's not a hose leaking. I'd pull the manifold.

 

Well...i guess im going to pull the IM off..
It's a real PITA...but it has to be done...
Might as well do a lil wire tuck while im at it!!
Thanks for the help
