    Intake instal problems =(

    Ok I just bout and instaled my AEM short ram intake on my 92 accord. Now every thing was fine till I poped my hood after the test runt and saw that there was raidiator coolant on some spots of my engine! now I whent back and cheacked my work and made sure every thing was tight. but ther was one thing. A small vacume hose that was left unconected because there was noe opening on the intake pipe. could this be the cuase and shold I close it off?? Thanks

    A vacuum hose should have nothing to do with coolant. Are you sure you didnt disconnect a coolant hose from the throttle body?

    Also you should plug any xtra vacuum hoses.

      This doesnt add up. There should be no coolant spilling for an intake install unless you disconnected a coolant line or something.

      ...adjust accordingly

        i dont know what you did but coolant shouldnt be spilt over installing an intake...

        and all the vacuum lines should have some place to hook too if this is a direct replacement aftermarket intake...

        but i wouldnt be 100% sure since im using the OEM tubing and an aftermarket filter.

          Thanks guys, this is what I said at first, "what does the intake have to do with the cooling system"??? well I looked over the work and no other hoses where disconected to cause this problem. But I did notice that in the instructions it said for some cars it is recomened to drain atlease 1 gallon of coolent from your raidiator. I dont know why but I thought Maybe this is why I has coolent every where. well after I called AEM and they told me that this doesnt apply foe 90-92 accords I was still puzzled and took a closer look to see where the water was coming from. Sad to say It was a crack in the front of my raidator =( damn now all my money has to go towards a new one!

            depending on were its leaking you could use jb weld(its a putty sold at wal mart) or radiator stop leak, check the junk yard I mean if you need on bad you can throw one on from a civic just to run safe for awhile, but it all depends on how much you have to spend.

              i tried jb weld on the top of my other radiator and it was a no go. maybe you can have better luck but it would only be a temporary fix.

                I have seen JB last long but thats what i forgot to say use jb as a band aid not a permanent fix.

                  Never Ever use that stop leak crap. if it fails at sealing up the leak it could recirculate around the system and clog up other things down the line.

                  this was what a mechanic told me and a buddy of mine who's big into Civics said the same thing. They did suggest the usage of pepper instead but after getting everything repaird you'd want to flush your entire system.
