inky · 07-30-2006, 07:05 AM

i have a 97 that i picked up cheap as a theft recovery. it has a cooling problem, i can see it leak under pressure from maybe at the HCV small gizmo by the two hose's on firewall.

can i by pass the hole heater core and the gizmo by plugging the lower hose on the rad, i know it's not the best way to fix it. but i seriously just use the car as a beater and only drive it when my girls around because she doesn't like to drive in my jeep.

thanks for the help.

also any cheap way to by pass the governor with out buying a new chip.
