I have had a problem with my engine overheating and then suddenly cooling off when first started up after the thermost had closed or was closed, and found that the stop leak I had used to seal up my leaky heater core until I replaced it was the problem. I was informed that it had gotten in the water pump at what I was told was the pressure bleed off (The extra water hole on the passenger side of the pump/block and was causing enough pressure to hold the thermostat closed until enough pressure on the other side of the thermostat therefore relieving the pressure holding it closed. I went through everything, and found the problem fixed after cleaning out the hole with compressed air ?? crazy but it worked. PS. New engine, new radiator, 3 new thermostats new heater core, left only the water pump wich was new but reused for rebuild. I did however not have the cooling problem until I used the leak sealer on the old engine with new water pump then the problem started. I will never use that stuff again !!!
The drain plug is a rubber threaded stopper . It is on the bottom passenger side of the rad above the bottom hose. It sits flush with the rad so it is hard to see. A large slote srewdiver will open it.
It was there as part of the process of making it.
Bottom of the oil pan on the bottom of the motor. Its on about a 30 degree angle that's the plane degree that it is threaded into
Usually on the bottom passenger side rear of engine Usually on the bottom passenger side rear of engine
It is screwed into the bottom passenger side of the radiator. Be careful. When you unscrew the switch to replace it, coolant will pour out. If you are quick you will only lose about a quart.
Bottom of the car passenger side has to come out thru the bottom
Should be a threaded hole at either the bottom or rear of the radiator
just aside of the oil filter, threaded into the bottom front of block.
The bottom of the camera has a threaded tripod mount and a battery and SD card compartment lid.
it is at the bottom of the Radiator on either the left or the right side...it is a plastic or metal threaded tab
Looking at the fuses, you'll see two stacked vertically (25A), and another to the right hand side of those. Of the the two stacked, the top one is for the front passenger window and the bottom for the front driver's side. The window fuse to the right of these is for the rear windows (both of them I think)
If it's an 1987 or newer then you will find it inside of the fuel tank and it will be an electric pump. If it's an 1986 or older then it will be bolted to the passenger SIDE of the engine towards the front bottom.
