This car has never overheated on me in the past 8 years, until this morning. As soon as I saw the temp go up and fumes coming from the engine bay, I pulled over right away. There was a hole in one of the hoses (the lower hose, L shaped), it was squirting what appears to be water and vapor. (see attached pic of hose) Would this cause overheating? Is the part I have circled the high idle valve (16500-PR7-A00)?
Had the car towed to work, during my lunch hour I went and bought a replacement hose (braided), but upon my attempt to install it, one of the lower nipple on the high idle valve broke off, it was badly corroded. GRRR. Frustrating. For a minute, I thought I was going to have to replace the entire manifold, but fortunately, the nipples is connected what I believe is the high idle valve. Part is cheap, about $100, already been ordered. I think I am going to start with that. The fact that it is corroded, is that a symptom of other problems?
Thanks!
