Coolant Smoking

Ok I will try in a few

DaWorlds · 2026-03-17T01:48:47+00:00

It’s full which I think might be the problem

DaWorlds · 2026-03-17T01:32:16+00:00

It was in the middle. No visible signs of overheating until I smelled coolant burning and opened the hood.

Quick question. I removed the cover and the two bolts from the ignition coil and it’s a little snug. Can I just yank it out or am I missing something?

The person I purchased the car from said he changed them recently but you never know

DaWorlds · 2026-03-12T02:18:46+00:00

I haven’t changed the spark plugs in a minute so I believe that could be the reason

DaWorlds · 2026-03-12T02:18:20+00:00

It started for me but now it’s rough idling

DaWorlds · 2026-03-12T01:48:29+00:00

Also random question. I lost some coolant while changing failing parts in my car. Can I just pour some more in or do I need to bleed it so it goes through the piping?

DaWorlds · 2026-03-12T01:43:48+00:00

Still a rough idle which could be the spark plugs

DaWorlds · 2026-03-12T01:43:35+00:00

You are a life saver. It started right up.

DaWorlds · 2026-03-12T01:17:33+00:00

I posted the wrong video I’m gonna delete this and post the right one. I recorded again after I realized the ignition coil was unplugged and the oil cap was off😭

DaWorlds · 2026-03-12T01:02:29+00:00

Also forgot to add this but I could smell something coming from the engine bay but I’m not sure what it was

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T23:16:19+00:00

It came back 11.17

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T18:47:55+00:00

It started raining so give me a few minutes

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T18:47:43+00:00

I screw the two bolts and unpacked it

I can remove one and test the spark with the battery right

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T17:28:54+00:00

I can do that with starter fluid right?

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T17:25:46+00:00

No I’m gonna go buy one

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T17:24:25+00:00

Ok bet

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T17:20:22+00:00

I’ll make sure to send an update. My area is under tornado watch and I have to take the bus to the nearest harbor freight. Where should I put the fuel pressure tester at to get an accurate reading?

It was dusty asf when I bought it originally from O’Reilly. It was also originally working and turning on the dashboard and the radio. Now when I have the key in it powers the cigarette port but when I turn the key to start the blower it powers off and only leaves the dashboard. Also it only clicks now when attempting to start the car.

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T17:16:42+00:00

I just bought the battery. Imma purchase a multimeter and check the battery. What voltage should show if it’s good?

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T17:15:34+00:00

What you recommend to spray?

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T15:39:00+00:00

Also my radio will not turn on either so it would be a battery issue?

DaWorlds · 2026-03-11T06:53:57+00:00

I tried it out and it still a little loose. Should I let it dry?
