Thanks after reading that I noticed a sticker on the side saying to do that lol. I was way too tired from getting the damn thing out to realize it. Now all that is left is to flush the system and put in new coolant. Crossing my fingers that noting leaks because this was a super pain in the ass to do lol. Pretty much every part of this felt nearly impossible due to everything being in the tightest space possible.

So I got the heater core out and the new one isn’t the same. Inlet and outlet are closer together and a different angle too. I could get it through the firewall but no way will it mount back up correctly or will I be able to attach the hoses at this weird Angle. So I did some looking around online and the pictures of them on all the auto part stores around here are the same way and it’s all the same part for this generation and different engine sizes. Very confused. I’ll have to actually go to the stores and see the parts or end up going to the dealership. I don’t really have time to order online and hope it is right. Has anyone had this bad of issues with replacement parts? By the way getting this thing out of the car is not fun and very time consuming lol.

thanks, I just found in the book that if you smell it inside the car to replace the heater core.

so still having leaking problems. today i put a cup under it to see the color and it looked like the color of the coolant I had just put in. I can still only see a lot of liquid coming from the drain in the picture I posted. Also I can smell coolant inside the car when the heater/ac defrost is on. Is it possible that either the heater core or the evaporator core has a problem and it is leaking the coolant through that drain hose? I couldn’t find any liquid inside the car either. I was thinking to also just put a cup right under that drain to see the color as well, just hard to reach. thanks

sorry to revive this But I was having a little trouble still with this and another issue that happened today.the ground wire that I could find on the engine is tight but is super dirty. But I had problems with my car today where it would start and instantly die. eventually it started. But I was wondering if this icm in the distributer is maybe just going bad seems all the connections to it seem fine. It was replaced about 2 years ago with one from autozone. And possibly my issue I had today could just be my ignition switch, seems once I got it home and tried to start it again it just did nothing at all ( I’ve had this problem randomly for a long time just not very often) and the ignition switch was also replaced a few years ago with one from autozone.

I checke the blue wire and it looked fine and wasnt loose. Does anyone happen to know where to ground to this might be? Thought I had a diagram but can’t seem to find it.

Thanks for the help. I originally thought something like that could be the cuase but didn’t know how or where it sent the signal.
