Then I took back out the TB, and put that PCV line where the coolant line was, and put it all back together and fired it up...I figured that had worked...but not until i drove to work this morning...About half was there, my engine started smoking, and there was a big could of smoke trailing my car.
I didnt know what had happened, I just figured it was from the collant and water that got on my engine that night. Nope.
I got to a gas station on base, and checked it out, the PCV line had broken and the collant was pouring out again... :(
IDK where I can go to get the proper hose to keep that from happening again...
