Re: 93 Legacy Wagon non turbo engine Water pump question

So last question. If I loosen up the bolts, then did I mess up the gaskets and need a nother new gasket ...

When the black connector is connected the buzzers work. When disconnected the buzzers seem not to work. With the engine off ... connec...

It runs great when it is running. Absolity no issues. After one of those really hard starts it blows smoke for a while. You also smell gas really strongly.

Once it has started it then runs great. Would a bad collant sensor drop a code? THe engine light is not on.

Thanks Terryg
