BURRrrrrr........!!!!!!!!!!!

I started it up and put the vent thermometer back in place. The car could not have been running three minutes and I was ready to back out and give it a try. By that time the vent temp was at ab out 46 degrees. I got down the road maybe a half mile and it was at 38 degrees.

Now, that all sounds great, but it is only 85 degrees ambient. Still comparing to performance at 85 degrees before the podectomy, I'm SURE that it is better.

There are still some unknowns however. When I got back after about five miles I opened the hood to check the radiator level. It had not gone down, and the heater valve lines were hot going in and cold going out. After supper, I'll go take it for another drive and turn on the heater. Until then I won't know if the heater core is sealed up properly. I do believe everything else is okay though.


I will potentially take issue with engatwork about the Honda evap being the easiest ever. I can't imagine it being any easier than my wifes 4Runner. It was absolutely incredible.

If engineers had to work on these cars, maybe they would have a little mercy.

I'll keep you posted on the final clean up and heater check. Meanwhile I've just GOT to remember to keep a sweater in that car.

Have a great day,
