When cars have sat its gonna be a treat getting them back to driving shape. Especially with cooling systems. You patch up one spot then it finds the next weakest link.
I know general area, but I don’t think we ever identified exactly where it was coming from, with the camera. I seem to recall some green on an oily blob.
I have the exact same car same color same year. What exactly was the fix? I have smoke coming out behind the engine and it leaked out orange brownish liquid under the car. I’m guessing it’s the heating hose, didn’t know there was more to it
Hey Rob what kind of scantool do you use on your mobile diagnostics? I'm looking into getting a new one, something with decent bidirectional controls. Can you recommend one that won't break the bank?
@@RobertDotterer yes I understand that, do you use the thinkdiag the most? I have other scantools but I'm doing mobile diagnostics and need to have a few options.
Please help I have a deville same engine and the radiator is bussed and it’s instantly over heating and smoke is coming out I haven’t drove it since the first time it overheated . I also have a vaccum hose leak on both hoses running into the mass air flow . Please help I’ve dumped 4grand into this car I’m a young single dad I really need help
I have a 94 Cadillac El Dorado that’s been sitting we are restoring it changed the heater core and the ignition coils mechanic drove it it was fine he cut it off but when he started it back and said it was smoking and coolant I guess leaked
Do the fans on 94 devilles fans come on at idling temp? Or after you take it on the highway..I got one from my grandmother who passed I and hadnt ran it hard or on no highway I have yet to catch the radiator fan running..it dont seem to get hot..
8:37 It never gets old seeing someone go through the same bullshit I do to myself. Once was testing a VW Tiguan that another shop had put an engine into. It wouldnt run because they had left 2 or 3 vaccum hoses off and a couple things weren't plugged in. Also it ws leaking coolant. I put pressure tester on it pumped it up to 15lbs and I raised car on lift. Must have bumped the radiator hose and it blew right off soaking me with coolant. The didint seat that quick connector either. Anyway I seen your In PA. I have a shop In Oil CIty Its NWPA between Erie and Pittsburgh
That fitting should not be a plain tee fitting. The OE fitting has a restrictor in it. GM P/N is 1648454. Using a plain tee can result in poor heat
Thank you!
Mine never had a restrictor so idk
I’ve got a ‘92 Eldorado with the 4.9 and have the exact same problem! Thanks for the video
Glad this helped you!
Strong use of smoke test right there. Going to put that in the rotation as needed.
Makes it very fast and less messy.

Ita a used car lot 😂
Well done!

Thank you.
Great idea for using smoke. I’ll have to try this.
Thank you!
What was the chirping noise when you started the cad up..?..air bleed obstruxtuon?
Probably coolant on the belt.
Might need that to see where my Fiero leaks
Maybe, I showed you where it was before.

Nice. Great idea. I’ll have to start.
I figured people would like this.
You can always by pass the heater core if you don’t need the heater.
You can but I don't usually fix cars that way.

This was a coolant tee that broke.

ThinkDiag or any of the launches will be the cheapest. One tool will not do everything.
@@RobertDotterer yes I understand that, do you use the thinkdiag the most? I have other scantools but I'm doing mobile diagnostics and need to have a few options.
I use the thinkdiag a lot, $300 you get all the manufactures and 2 years of updates.
Hey bro i have the same car and its smoking when i run it for bout 30 mins
What testing have you performed?

Did he fix it?
What if the cooling fans aren’t moving?
I refer to you as the “ok guys” guy now. 😂
I was going to put that on shirts 😂

I’ll be using smoke detectors on everything even with a fuel leak

I was just in Pittsburgh for almost a week a few months ago. I had a Tiguan in for a motor and I went through 3 motors with it.
Smoking in front of engine
Yea
Cooling t. Hmmmm
I have a leak on the motor what’s the pipe called?
I am not sure, you can go to a GM parts website and look at the diagrams for your vehicles and it will give you the part numbers.
