Question

Is it normal to have green coolant spilling out of the intake when you take of the throttle body/EGR? Also, how do you take off the distribuater cap? does it just pop off?

RE: Question

I found the instructions finally and they said that coolent does spill out of the t/b hoses. So I guess thats what it was...But there was some inside the upper intake but its not that bad. Is this normal?

RE: Question

You might have just spilled some from the TB lines when you took it off. Otherwise that is not normal. The cap is just held on by 2 clamps. Just look at the top and you will see them. Real easy to take off.
