I don’t disagree and you may be correct. When I took off the plastic air plenum and looked into the throttle body I saw what looked to be coolant condensate collected inside on the inlet side of the throttle butterfly flap, like it was coming back through the air intake. It was odd considering...

Update: I believe the problem is in the head (cracked) as I am not getting any mixing of coolant and oil, but coolant is getting into the cylinder and coolant system was pressurizing. Not a huge amount, but enough to misfire at start up and occational rough idle. I pushed a string into the spark...

Bump to see how this turned out. I have coolant in cylinder 4 and misfiring a month after a head gasket job. It wasn't doing it before the job but hard to argue with JJ's logic as there are no coolant passages in that area of the gasket.

Hey Will, do you have a set of front and rear wipers arms for an 03?

Had exact same symptoms on my D2 and it was the radiator. Ended up replacing the viscous clutch and t-stat before I got to the actual problem.

Water and oil can make their way into the connectors.

I like it much better, too. I am not convinced the starter can spin the pump fast enough to prime the oil system from dry, even with the gears packed with assembly lube. I could be wrong. Mine took quite a bit of cranking before she came to life.

Is it possible to get the little momentary push-button soldered to the circuit board? Before I could transfer the guts to a new case I bought the cap that contains the button itself fell though the hole where the case depressor used to be. I can do the soldering, just need the little push-button.

And good luck with your project!

When I did my rebuild my machine shop had a nifty rig that uses compressed air to push motor oil into the lube passages via the oil pressure switch hole. Instant oil pressure at start-up and no white knuckled waiting for the light to go out while the bugger rattles to life. The owner loans it to...

Bump to share my P1590 story. Had the 3 amigos, borrowed a scanner from a great guy off of this site, and pulled a "front right wheel speed sensor low input". Turned out to be a faulty connector attached to the wheel well under the cruise controller/ SAI canister. Unplugged it, used a multimeter...
