Flooded engine
I just registred, but any way.I have a 1988 10th AE Turbo II. I did the engine flood thing when u take out the plugs and crank it over to get the fluid out. When i did this there was coolant coming out? How can i fix this problem w/o spend loads of cash?

Theres a good possibility your engine might be blown if there is coolant inside (blew a coolant seal). No really cheap way to fix that.

yeah he was filled in, its the first thing that you tell every new rx owner in the ottawa area.
Bruno, it is possible it is the gromet, and I hope it is man. I have already seen too many people be scared away because they find some problems with their new car. dont underestimate what you can do when it comes to repairing/rebuilding. all you need to do is read up a bit...

Flush your engine's coolant with water
block off lines to heater core
after flushing cooant, fill rad about 75-80% leaving enough room to add both bottles of block weld
add them
run car at idle with cap off untill system is bled then top up with water. put the cap on and take the car out for a very light drive, no boost. drive along at low rpms low load for about 20 mins
lwhen you're back home, let car sit for about two hours with block sealer and water still in the rad and pressureized
after two hours, flush rad with water and fill with 50/50 coolant water.
the block weld will usally slow down or stop most coolant seal leaks and is removable when the engine is rebuilt. it may clog up heater cores or rads if left in.
its not a great way to fix it but, it shoudl help you from flooding and having hot start problems.
