runs fine just radiator smokes after 30mins of being warm not sure what's causing this it's also not overheating

 

I thought an EK was 96-00 range.

I thought 92-95 was eh, eg, em but not ek.

What model and trim is your 94?

 

it's a ex my bad

 

How old is the radiator? Do you think it's original?

Have you checked your coolant level?

 

I do think it might be original. and the coolant level is max

Likely a crack in the radiator, or slowly leaking where the plastic top joins the metal core. This will get worse, replace it now.

 

was thinking cracked but never see any dripping coolant so wasn't sure

 

^^^ Thanks, exactly where I was going. Beat me to it.

 

lol I figured I would need to replace it just wasn't sure if it could've been something else

 

The plastic tank of the radiators are known to crack. It's a very common and well known issue. They last quite a long time but still, not forever.

It's the most likely culprit based on your description.

 

pretty sure that's what it is to cause last time I jacked front end up wasn't paying attention got on the radiator support with out realizing it and when I let it down the radiator dropped and was hanging so that's prolly what happened fault on a noobish mistake

 

got the new radiator anything extra I need to know to make it easier and quick to have it done

 

When was the last time you replaced upper and lower hoses?

 

If it's automatic (why don't people post even this most basic of car info), you will need to disconnect and reattach the transmission cooler lines. Manual cars just have the two big coolant hoses on the radiator.

I like to take out the radiator fan first, then R&R radiator.

 

It's the nature of the beast. As is repeating answers, no searching, not being aware of the FAQ etc etc.

they are fine no holes are anything

 

It's better to replace them a long time before any holes appear. If they feel squishy or are "ballooned" out-- swelled to a larger diameter in the center than at the ends, replace.

 

better replace them thry are kinda squishy
