Welcome. You have an L28; to quote the knight in the last crusade "you have chosen wisely."

lol thank you, the engine and everythin runs great! BUT the body is horrible, it needs much work [its covered in rust & bondo ]

[evildky]

ugh, rust si the number1 kiler of these cars, the mechanicals are cheap and easy to work on and the engines last dang near forever, but the bodies just can't resist the rust, rust repair is expensive and takes a lot fo these cars off the road for good, lets hope your's is salvagable

i kno wat u mean, so i will have to prevent as much of it as possible and wait till i get to college and learn about the body so i can work on it and make a freakin BEAST

if this started after you blew that hose, take the afm comnnector off and clean both sides with some electrical contact cleaner, might just be antifreeze that made it's way intot he connector, otherwise, start another thread
