Default 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?

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?

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.
