Okay so like I said once before, when I try to fix something on my Z then something else breaks... I'm not sure how to explain it so hang in here with me. Okay... there's a hose that goes to the radiator and then it runs down along the engine kinda and then the other end of the hose connects to this green thing that has a yellow cork looking valve thing... then another hose connects to the other side of the green thing. Sorry for using the term "thing" so much... if I knew the name of them then I would say them. So my problem is... the little yellow thing that fits into the green thing...fell out. The yellow thing has (what looks to be) like a stud or a bolt in it that screws into something. You can push the little bolt thing and it will move up and down like it controls pressure or something. I tried to put water into my radiator today and it came out of the hole in the green thing (where the yellow thing SHOULD be) as fast as I could put it in. Sorry if none of this makes sense... I did my best...

It's hard to see it as it is... I can try but I doubt it'll turn out.

Why did you win again? It was Hoov that mentioned the TPS sensor.

Coolant hose going through the firewall = heater hose. You should really invest in a Haynes manual... saves headaches.

put in new 5/8 heater hose, and you can buy those junction points from the parts stores. at least it will get you thru. if its the part that goes into the block thats corroded away, you can get those on ebay.

then you have to worry about stock engine parts exiting the block at 200k miles.
