weep hole

adrnmrnda · 05-31-2008, 06:37 PM

I have an 84 250 2wd, there is water coming out of a weep hole in the front of the engine block not the water pump. what could this be?
Part II- the engine will start but will not idle, if i keep on the gas then it runs but it will not idle on its own, just replaced the head gasket, kind of new to this stuff. the enging is crappy ca emission compliant.

Welcome to the club first of all now make sure it's not your fuel pump if so replace before it catches fire and burns up your whole truck. Better yet can you take a picture so that we can see what your talking about or just hone in to my brain I have ESP or is it called ESPN. Were all just wild and crazy people here or at least I am PLEASE don't agree with me.

why is it water and not antifreeze? maybe the choke plate is stuck or not set right? or your Idle screw somehow got out of adjustment? by weep hole do you mean freeze plug? how big is this "weep hole"?

Ther is no weep hole in the front of the block????

Are we talking about coolant or fuel?

only weep hole that comes to mind is the fuel pump, or the water pump.
