I'm listening close and it sounds like the steam is coming from this area (where i'm poinitng)

I looked at eh ISC nad it almost appeared that the steam was coming out of there. I could see steam shooting from around it

my temp gauge never went above halfway hot so i'm just about to go crazy over here :cry:


oh yea yall leave my yellow hoses alone. THe caps i had on the tb nippels were leaking ant this was just a quick fix

I bet it's the hoses going to your FIAV (fast idle air valve) they bring in coolant to your tb to raise the idle on a cold start. The hose goes from the thermostat housing to the throttle body, then from the throttle to one of the heater hoses. Check these for leaks. Did the steam smell like coolant boiling?

If its not the hose that is leaking then it may be the FIAV itself. You may have to replace the whole TB, i don't think you can get the lower half of the TB by itself.

If it's the heater core line's it could be dripping on the exhaust.

i would reccomend replacing all your lines back there... the heater core ones are a huge pain.. but if you replace them all you wont have to touch them for a while... and you will not be stranded because of a stupid small pin hole in a meaningless coolant line... replace them... i have been there before... ;)
