Ok, well i just removed the water temp sensor (right of dist. on lower intake) so i could put my mech. water temp quage in, and when i had everything tightened up i removed my pressure cap on radiator to check coolant level, and coolant started to come out of where i just put the mech water temp gauge rod thing... did i do something wrong that coolant is coming out of there!? or what??
Need help asap!!

Did you use teflon tape on the threads? If you did, did you wrap it the opposite way it threads so it doesn't come undone when you thread it? Also did you over tighten and maybe crack the lower intake?
Need some Permatex pipe dope on the treads to help stop that or teflon tape . http://www.permatex.com/products/aut...ad_Sealant.htm
its not coming out like where the threads are, its coming out of the middle of the thing i stuck in the intake.. h/o ill go take a pic..

Thats why it leaking then, your going to have to get the right wrench to do it.
yep. go buy one if you have too and then just return it if your low on cash, even though i've never done that
always a good reason to buy a new tool.
kk all is good, got a wrench and got it hooked up, thanks guys!!

just curios did u put it were the water temp sensor goes or did u put it some were else cause that sensor needs hooked up with out it that car is gonna run like shit
You can't just screw the nut on there like you have it, there is a fitting that needs to go into the intake first and then the fitting you have screws into the fitting that goes into the intake. That traps the probe between the two.

i may be mis-reading this,but i've installed temp gauges in that location before and car ran fine. just pull out the factory temp sensor then put the gauge one in it's place.

the factory coolant temp sensor contributes to the ecu calculation of A/F
