Thread: FML, Help

On my way to Court around 3:30pm this afternoon
I noticed my Temp was Abnormally high and rising. I pull over Immedently

My coolant Hose below my Radatior came off, dumped my Dex cool out.

so i let the car sit and cool down and then put some water in it and drive the Half a mile left to the court house, let it sit and go to court.

3 hours later i had my freind bring me 2 gallons of Dex Cool. I fill it to brim, Crank the car and then continue to fill.

then after like 4 mins of it running fine, the Supercharger starts making a weird sound

i shut the car off. let it sit for a minute and then try to crank it again and it didnt wanna start and a Little bit of Smoke came from the Airfilter section.



I'm going back in a few hours to see if i can get it going but does anyone have any useful imput?

Check your dipstick and see if there is coolant mixed in with the oil. Sounds like you may have ingested coolant.

perhaps a LIM gasket leak?

well i just Changed the LIM this weekend.

Im thinking its something to do with the fact all the coolant drained out?

or maybe that i put water into it while it was hot?

If this was the case, what are my options?

Something may have gave out and pressurized your coolant system, blowing off the hose.

any ideas as too what?

i did the upper and Lower intake gaskets this weekend.

The Radatior hose was loose and came off and drained the coolant, then due to lack of coolant the engine temp rose.

but since ive Reattached the hose and Tightened the hose clamp on snuggly
and refilled dexcool

yeah it was loose, but any reason why a small amount of smoke would of came from the Air intake? or why it wouldnt Crank right and start?

Im going back in about an hour and going to try again

started back up just fine lol!?


slight chip coming from the Supercharger Belt.
