    I'm very confident bout my vacuum hose routing :D, but the line to my egr is cracked, and since I'm out of 4mm vacuum hose, I taped it up with electrical tape. I would like to replace all my vacuum lines maybe with silicone hose from Hose Techniques. I'm pretty positive about the CPS, I set it...

    yep with coolant :D no steam... she behaved herself for once... really hoping everything is ok... excepting the rad... btw I checked out Bigzavs koyo rad, i think it's for a manual... so I might get the driftmotion one, but I'm gonna look around some more

    sounds good... so not enough to actually loosen them, but just to crack it so like... 1/8th of a turn? maybe 1/4 turn at most? and guess what... I found a coolant leak... its not coming from any hoses, it leaking from the bottom passenger side of the radiator itself... nothing I can do about...

    OH no worries, as soon as I discovered my engine was running green coolant I flushed it out for toyo red. Remember my 6 flush fiasco about 2 months ago? LoL... perhaps it is residue left over. SA Supra can attest there was A LOT of nasty stuff in my coolant passages, and perhaps running that...

    right now its running water and prestone flush, once I drain that I'll refill with coolant... then I gotta make another run for concrete cleaner, so we'll see how it runs with real coolant... but that tiny bit of oil floating on the water has me all upside down and twisted *super frown...

    Yeah, I'll be there after I return the pressure washer I rented... Hmmm Sounds like a good idea, I'm going to look into getting a Toyota cap. HOWEVER, I decided that I was going to flush out the cleaner I had in there and refill with actual coolant this time. I am in the process of flushing...

    hmmm no over heating, rad cap seems fine, tstat is in the right way with the jiggle valve on top, oil is questionable... either it is super duper clean cuz i changed it twice already plus a new filter, or its water from the coolant system :(, no oil in coolant reservoir, and if tried to burp...
