Hi everyone, please help me ID this valve in the pics below. The smoke was coming out of my hood this morning and when I opened it up I found the coolant was pouring out of this valve. I want to know what it is and how to fix it. Please help guys! Thanks in advance.

 

Btw its a 98 GSR!

 

see it here? 94

 

it's #13. most likely came loose look for another open valve a bit lower

 

So what exactly is it? And what do I need to do to stop it from pouring out the coolant? What is #13?

 

if I have the time i'll try n get a pic of mine for you(can't promise). it's just a bypass hose more or less but you do NEED it's hard to say where it goes but it's near the pcv box.

 

Here I did you 1 better a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI6qG...ature=youtu.be

 

So it doesn't connect to anything right? Can I just get like a small hose to cover that valve? First I thought that was a PCV valve but I guess not.

 

what ? did you watch the vid I made for you lol YOU need it why I say bypass I don't mean you can get rid of it. go get a hose of the same size and cut it down to size and clamp it down

 

Lol sorry at work. I'll watch it later! I really appreciate you for making the vid man! Thanks

 

Okay I just watched it but I couldn't really see where the end of the hose goes to? And you know the size of the hose that I should get?

 

I circled it in red I don't know the size head to your local dealer that hose is about 5$

 

Thanks man! Again really appreciate the help.

 

most likely its a 5/8" hose.

 

That's the wrong thing you circled. The pipe he's missing IS #13, but it connects further up. What you circled is the bypass to let the hot water flow from the outlet, back into the inlet, to aid in heating up the car faster.

What he's missing is actually the hose that goes between the intake, to the FITV. It's part of the loop that goes from the FITV, to the IACV, then back into the water inlet pipe behind the block.

It goes from that nipple you see leaking coolant, to under your throttle body.

 

^ Do you have any pics you can show me so I know where exactly the end of the hose connects to?

 

it connects to the throttle body. look on the throttle body for an outlet with no hose on it. i think its the on the iacv right on the back of the intake manifold. towards the top of it on the back side.

 

i think its one of the hoses circled in yellow. i could be wrong.

 

No there's already a hose there that is connected to the throttle body. This nipple is under that hose.

 

that connection is supposed to go from the intake manifold coolant port to the front of the throttle body. (side closest to the front of the car)

 

Here are some more pics!! It's a tiny nipple under the hose that is connected to the throttle body.





and I'm using this rubber piece to stop the coolant from pouring for now. (I'm not sure if that's what the last owner used to close that valve before.)

 

you might have a hose there, but that is not where it goes. look at the oem diagram posted.

 

There's no hose there. What # is it on the diagram? It's not 12 or 13.

 

Just a tip. You don't want to buy a regular hose and cut it to size. The OEM hose is bent for a purpose. Using a "autozone" hose will force a kink when installed. You don't want that.

 

He obviously can't read the diagram. And yes its the #17 hose from intake man to fitv. The diagram isn't very clear if you're inexperienced @ reading it. Kyden is reading it right...
