[quote=”Drunk32″ post=30774]My girlfriend has a 93 Pontiac Bonneville and while changing her oil the other day I went to check her coolant level and I noticed that the coolant was a black color. So I know that about a year ago I replaced the water pump so had to drain and refill the coolant. So, Im not sure how it got black because I put brand new coolant in there. The only thing that I can think of is that her overflow tank had a big crack in it for a while and it was a few weeks before I saw it and replaced. It is an old car and I know the person she bought it from did not take very good care of the car but in the two years that she has had it I have taken good care of it. I do know its not losing any coolant. I plan on doing a coolant flush tomorrow on her car. I have done a coolant flush on my car before (which was very clean) When I did my flush I used the Peak Cleaning agent and everything went well and I am still driving the car. I have read a lot of things online saying that these cleaning agents can cause a lot of damage. Is this true or is this just people misusing the product? I know her cooling system needs a good cleaning, more than just a few drain and fill. I am just trying to get some ideas of ways people do coolant flushes.
I will attach a picture to show how bad it is.
Thanks![/quote]possibly blown head gasket or cracked head . is it kinda silky .a bad tensioner will cause this . to loose the belt will rub againts the houseing . try replaceing all belts and timeing belt with all tensioner’s . if it still does it then it is possible that when the machince was over tighting things he crate a binde .

Emissions failures with poor acceleration and no check engine light I would actually be checking the mechanical timing, if your timing belt jumps time it can exhibit those symptoms._x000D_

Your TPS readings look fine but to be honest that’s only part of what you’re looking at when you look at a TPS, you want to rule out ‘dead spots’ and for that you slowly move the throttle through the sweep as y[quote]Quoted From EricTheCarGuy: _x000D_

If it’s a Honda you should never have to mess with the TPS in fact they are riveted on and are not adjustable from the factory.
