Crackhead resurrection

Is there a test for it on the FSM or do you think it's just the connector being damaged?

 

Took a break to schmoke, sip coffee, and take in the view.

 

Spec'd temp on mini-t-stat is 83°C.

 

I wonder what all that shit is thats packed in those lines...

 

Pulled the trigger on Throttle body clean up. Pulled the 21mm cap off directly underneath the engine cover mount. Gnarly.


Cleaned out with brake kleen. Good enough for water flow now, and soon to be radiator flush... Golly Gee, I sure hope my engine drains on the bottom aren't frozen....



Cleaned up the oil residue on the TB while I had it out.


Reinstalled mini-t-stat thingy majigger.



Need new hoses for the mini-t-stat. Anybody with a computer that can pull up exploded links, and supply part numbers? You will have my eternal gratitude. If it didn't have all them complex bends, and shit I'd just use regular hose.

 

Currently 48°F here. Assuming everything is ambient temp, ECT sensor checks as good per the FSM. I guesstimated that the reading would be around 3.5k-ohms.



I'm calling it good, and ruling the connector as my problem. Among the raunchy cooling lines...

 

Was putting the TB water line back on, and it split on me. Making due with silicone for now...


Really need to order this part, or get @lsaami's.

See the impression in the hose by my middle finger. Wondering if that's where the the hose clamp was, and thats why it was such a mess. Not squeezing enough on the hose barb.

 

Oh no...don't even bother. Just get new:

Thanks for these. I'll order both, and install whatever fits best. Pops came down to check on me. Struck up conversation. It hit me that I haven't even done the first oil change yet.

 

Anyone got any idea where I can order just the astic connectors listed above?

Need one for the ECT, and one for the throttle body connector thingamajig Perhaps @empty_lord could point me in the right direction.

 

You have to find the part number on the connectors and have a dealer order the connector off those

 

Fuck. That sounds next to impossible with my redneckistan computer set up.

 

According to the 2000 EWD Connector List, that is connector E 2....90980−10737

Whatever this shit is, it's packed in plumb full.



Line above is the one connected to the backside of the cooler which can be seen in the image of the cooler.

 

Bubba, you're the man. Let me pay pal you, and @empty_lord money for a case of beer!

 

Thanks but you need to spend all your extra money on @TundraGirl2 for putting up with your ass

 

She's actually asleep so no need in putting up with me currently, but yes. Once this horrendous timing belt job is done, it will be date night for sure. I'll pull out all the stops. She will have earned it.

 

That is so weird. The oil cooler is fairly critical right? I wonder how it was running. I wonder what you would find if you removed a valve cover.

 

Now this is happening!






Some brake kleen, and a pressure washer later I have flow through the cooler.



I think I fucked up some o-rings or seals in it.


Got a chunk out.


Guess this one is Fubar?

 

Like you said earlier Erik.

 

One more grasshopper and I'll let you learn the EWD I posted earlier for your 2000. It's Ryder Cup time for me....U S A ....U S A....U S A



Look for Part Number of Connectors starting on page 250, alphabetically find Throttle Control Motor which is connector T1.... 90980−10942
Somewhat verify by searching the pdf for Throttle Control Motor only 6 results to look at and the one below matches the color of the conductors and connector color(gray) posted in your pic.

 

Don’t run that one longer term because it’s running the possibility
Of mixing coolant and oil.. you don’t want that

 

I won't run it all then. I'll wait on @lsaami or order newness.

 

Removed AC compressor again. Supported by milk crate.


Removed coolant line from drivers side block to oil cooler. HAPPILY, a bunch of old, nasty fluid came out of the block which means there's very little bull shit inside!

Did a cross-section of the hose I'm replacing.






I just don't understand how this happens.

 

Seeing this makes me wonder if someone put stop leak in this thing and its gonna have bigger problems later. I hope not though. Hopfully it's just never had a coolant flush and they've been putting an incompatible coolant in there for a while.

 

Honestly looks like they put dex cool in it.. which is a BIG no no

 

So here's the hose barb on the block. Drivers side.

 

I'm not sure if we've tagged @lsaami enough in the last 24 hours so here's one more.

 

How bad is it? Like am I mega fucked, or am I still in OK situation as long as I so all the purging, and what not.

 

Is that to drain the coolant, or just a place where a hose connects? The coolant drains on my block are brass.
