the smoke was coming from the top of the radiator area actually. it stated to smoke just a little at first but then alot started coming out. then another minute later and the smoke went away. it was just probably water that was evaporating off the top of the radiator as the engine got hot.

 

I believe you will find that the vacuum hose bends back and to the left - as in "the vacuum is behind him." :D

It just LOOKS like a total disconnect.

should i cover my CAI?

also, my hose has no nozzle thing. so i dont have the "mist" feature.
would it be ok to jus lot the water "run" out of the hose.
or will that be to much water?

thanx in advance

 

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot or Wal-Mart or some other store with garden tools and get one. They aren't that expensive.

145 nozzles under $25

 

alrite. i'll add that to my list.

so, would u recommend covering my CAI?
i have a hydroshield on it, but i dunno.

 

saran wrap and duct tape, a plastic bag. Really anything thats water proof.

 

thanx Touge T

and Ripmkiv i got a nozzle at autozone for like 5 bux

 

glad to have helped! w00t?

edit: oh, and i would have never thought that autozone would have had them... heh

 

Good info guys. Just had some cathodes mounted in the engine bay so I REALLY need to clean it now.

 

does anyone know if the method in the DIY is safe for most vehicles?

 

i bought some orange cleaner with degreaser from autozone. it works great. don't even have to scrub really. i just spray on and rinse after a couple of minute. i did it to my tc and my truck bout 4 times now. works great. thanks to whoever posted the diy here.
