Thread: 2 problems HELP!!!

Hey guys, I have to issues which I cannot figure out.

The first problem I have is ever since I flushed my coolant after my top swap, I can hear some kind of liquid sloshing around from the engine area when accelerating from a stop. The car is not leaking any fluids and all fluids are at the proper levels. Where should I start looking?

My second problem is that every once in a while, when starting the car up, it idles like crap. The car sounds like its cammed. Its very random though and only happends on first start up. Temperature does not make a difference. As soon as you put the car into any gear, it smoothes out and idles fine. Somewhere there is a problem. Can't find any vaccum leaks visiblally. Where do I start?!?!?!

Thanks

Don't know a whole lot about rough idle but from what i've read on here usually vaccum leaks. especially after doing a top swap. triple check it all buddy.

with the sloshing sound you need to bleed your coolant system. very common after changing fluid. there's an air pocket somewhere.

if you have ramps or even a jack, jack up the front end and run your car with the rad cap off. you will see it bubble for awhile then the coolant should drop down. top up as necessary.

hope this helps.

for vac leaks, spray some carb cleaner around the engine listen for idle changes, when you spray. check all vac lines.

the water sound you have is most likely air in the heater core, re bleed the system like couch stated.

idle surging pretty normal on modded 3800's esp top swapped cars

This ^^^^^^

Found a vacuum leak at the T on the supercharger. The cap was rotten so I replaced it, much better so far but like I said eariler, the idle issue was intermittent.

Bleed the cooling system again until clean coolant came out. Still hear the sloshing problem and when I finished, I snugged down the bleeder too much and snapped it. FML. Thats enough for one day.
