Tuesday nights meets in North NJ
#802
Just got back home. Took me an hour to go 6 miles.
My car started to overheat on the way home, right on route 3, by the gas station, which is 3 blocks from my house. I was gonna chance it and go home but the temp gauge was moving like rpm's LOL.
I had to shut it down at like 230F. Steam was coming out like a mother. And it sucks cause alot of people at the gas station were saying nice car and if i need help and here i am with an overheating car. Damn FD's haha
Gonna diagnose and fix tomorrow.
Ok chris, your cue to make fun of me

No, coolant hose underneath my throttle body (i just came back from diagnosing it) broke off.
I snapped a pic but im charging my camera so i can make a thread asking what goes where.
Basically all i see is a nipple, which from what i remember is the nipple to the TB, then a broken hose end perpendicular to it. Then a lonnnngg hose that runs between the UIM and the firewall that LOOKS like it belongs to that other broken end hose. The only thing that screws me up is the stupid nipple.
I know on a TB, theres 2 nipples that coolants runs through/touches it. I bypassed this last year but kept the nipples on there.
I CANT remember where the nipples are. I see one on the top but the 2nd one i cant find. I really dont want to take off the TB.
All in all, its scary when you're rushing to get home, you're on the freaking highway doing 65 and you still see your temp gauge climbing like a crazy ape. I mean it literally went from 185F to 220F in about 8 seconds lol.

UPDATE!! I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!! LOL
The hose on the bottom part is the one that broke off. Coolant was spewing from there and also the hose that was joined with a brass barb connector (by me) last year. I did not find the barb connector so im assuming thats why im confused.
But yes, i know what to do now, the nipple that im also confused with is the nipple to the TB as i thought it would be, as seen in the pic.
Im soo relieved now.
Now i hope no damage was sustained by driving with coolant spraying all over my engine bay and driving with the add coolant light on.
