Hi everyone here's my problem. I have a whole butt load of water pouring out the bottem of my car. (1996 GT auto). At first I though "o great my head gaskets gone". So I jack my car up and take a look under it to see where this water is coming from. I find out that is not my head gasket but rather some plug with a little orange wire going to it. It looks pretty woren. Any body have a clue as to what this plug is. I figured it may have been a frost plug or somthing along those lines but when I called my local auto parts store they said they had no such part on record for my car.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks...

engine block heater connection

and it is tapped into a freeze plug, my 97 has the same thing but hasn't leaked yet

Could you post a pic?
Could very well be your water pump or intake manifold. Not sure about the plug your talking about.

what you will have to do is drain the coolant, remove the heater connection and then get the freeze plug out and buy these new pieces and replace them. IF you don't use the block heater you can just put a regular freeze plug back in
