Has anyone ever had experience with rapid loss of coolant and the engine shutting off immediately?
Will the computer kill the engine like that?
I have an 89 Firebird TBI.
The plastic fitting on the diverter valve for the heater core broke completely off.
It did not overheat before hand. Temps were where they normally are.
After a few seconds of billowing steam, it sputtered and died.
I have not attempted to crank it over again yet, but I am worried something else might have gone wrong.
The fitting that broke sprayed coolant toward the front passenger side of the engine bay.
