first you have to post your question in our technical discussion so you get answer quick

what do you mean you put a new tube and put a bigger one? did you find where the leaks are? and what does it do? how does it run?

x2

the only thing i can think of that you might mean is the upper radiator hose
but if you want to have someone diagnose your problem remember details details details
if you dont know what your talking about take pictures pointing at what you are talking about

[Raid3n]

yes thats what i am trying to explain here lmao

[JaysonR]

lol

how low of coolant were you running your car? and how does your car runs?

[89y49rexsi]

now ive had problems before but i agree with what everyone else is saying
what exactly is the problem besides being low on coolant

normally in hondas it doesnt cause the car to bogg out
what it will do when low on coolant is the car wont idel right it will surge and thats the iacv
but why are you low on coolant and ive never had the cel light come on when im low on coolant

[89y49rexsi]

you might and possible could have blown your head gasket but i wont know for sure until i get more info

[lilredhonda]

okay im sorry for the bad message but here i was runninr really low cause the upper rad hose had a hole in it. so i was over my buddys joshes house and i put a different hose inplace of it (it was a bigger diameter hose) and i refiled it with coolant and started it and it ran fine for like a min. then it started bogging out


so i put the old hose back on to see if it was it

[89y49rexsi]

and

sounds to me like you may have a blown head gasket
check the underside of your oil fill cap and see it it has a milky residue on it
same with the oil dipstick

if so congrats you have either a blown head gasket or a cracked head or a cracked block
try doing a compression test and see if the numbers are supper low
also try getiing a leak down test done

let us know the results mikey

[89y49rexsi]

oh another thing you can do is
take your radiator cap off (as long as its not hot) and start the car if bubles come out it is amost garunteed to be a bad head gasket

[lilredhonda]

okay it stopped bogging on work all day on it today. but the check engine light is on still and still is running funky and we were just trouble shooting every thing

-checked ecu
-compression
-spark plugs
-distributor
-grounds



but its still running funky

[89y49rexsi]

well what engine code is your ecu throwing

[lilredhonda]

its not throwing codes and right now i have an p28 ecu

[89y49rexsi]

you just said the check engine light wont shut off if this is true you are throwing a code the ecu is under the carpet by the passenger door look on the top there should be a little clear lens that should be blinking count how many times it blinks
btw when it blinks for a long time it means that its a 10
and fast blinks are 1

so if it blinked slow once and fast twice it would mean 12 and if i have that i can get you the code therefore telling you what your car is doing

[lilredhonda]

yeah i know the codes and its not throwing any there no blinking lights are any thing
