my heater core is leaking in my 93 3.4. can i just cap off the lines too the heater core or do i have to run a hose from one line to the other so that the water can recirculate. i am on vacation so i just want to block it off(quick fix) plus i live in florida and dont really need a heater p.s i searched and looked at over 200 post to no avail

Im not anywhere near my car right now, but if I remember right the heater lines run from the passenger side of the radiator about half way down, to the heater core, and then back to the side of the water pump. So to block this off, just go from the radiator side, to the water pump. Shouldnt be more than $5 in hose froom whereever. Good luck. ;)Jordan<br />15.09@90.7<br /><a href=\"http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=21\" target=\"_blank\"><b>1995 Camaro 3.4 M5</b></a>

thanks InsaneCamaro I went to advance auto parts and told them that i needed to block off my heater core and needed a splice kit he walked right over and got it. I bought seperate hoses in case i ever wanted to put a heater core in again. total cost about $10 now lets pray the i didnt ruin something else by driving 400 miles with a leaking heater core and refilling the radiator 4 times. man was my carpet flooded93 3.4 w/K&N FIPK installed 1/13/04

Nothing will be ruined by bypassing the heater core. You should defintely bypass it though rather than capping it off. The coolant needs to continue to recirculate obviously.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>
