> [@95mx6](#): > > alrighty does it matter which one goes to what nipple on the iacv? or does it not matter consider each are coolant passages? off the top of my head without looking at a honda. I believe the thermostat housing will have a nipple to run a hose the the nipple on the underside of the throttle body. the other nipple on the TB facing the firewall will then connect to your iacv. and the other side of the iacv back to the water pipe if I remember correctly. I’ll look at it soon and fix it. ---

Still running like shit, but is running. Coolant might be still be getting into the wrong parts of the motor, but there is very little coolant in the car right now and it ran for about 10 mins the other night and is still bone dry on the pistons. Im gonna try and fill her up with coolant and see if it runs/ idles better and keep checking to see if coolant gets into the motor ,and then go from there. The car runs soo much better with out the knock sensor plugged in, fuckin weird. ---

can anyone seriously help??? It will honestly probably take a total of 20 minutes and ill pay you for it. I just need a experienced mechanic for 20 minutes, maybe even less. I dont want to fill this car up with coolant and keep running it if its going to fill the cylinders up with coolant again.
