Help with a few probs...
Help with a few probs... I am having a few issues with my t/a, looking for some insight.
1. Car starts fine cold, but when warm you have to give it between half throttle and the floor to get it to start. It smells real rich for a min and then is fine.
2. The low collant light is on. I have put collant in it every morning for 4 days now. If the light goes off, it is back on by the time i get to work (15min). I check it the next morning and it is as low as it was the previous day (not much). Today i stopped to put air in a tire and noticed it was leaking coolant. Opend the hood and it was comming out the overflow...
3. Heater isn't working...
Thanks in advance for any help!

1. Car starts fine cold, but when warm you have to give it between half throttle and the floor to get it to start. It smells real rich for a min and then is fine. Could be the classic IAC heatsoak problem many people have. Do a search for "ICM cooling mod" and you'll see what I mean.

3. Heater isn't working... What does "isn't working" mean? Is the blower not turning on at all? Is it blowing cold air? Warm air? No air?

If it's blowing cold, it is likely your heater core is clogged. Very common problem. Depending on how bad it is, you may need to replace it. Flushing doesn't always result in a clean core.
