Surge Tank Problem
Hi, new to this forum, wondering if anyone has had the same problem as I have. My low coolant light comes on periodically when I start up the car. After 30 Yards or so, it turns off, here's the problem. I went to add coolant today, I opened the hood after work and went to open the coolant surge tank, the cap turned, and came off leaving the plug in there. Any Ideas? this sucks because I am supposed to be driving to Florida from GA in a week. thanks in advance,

Pull out the plug and install a new surge tank cap.
I would start checking om why the low coolant light comes on..if the coolant is getting low, check the corners where the intake meets the head for signs of leakage.

Re: Surge Tank Problem
for example, it is completely flat, nothing to grip onto

Got it, I used one of those rubber grip things and a small flat head screwdriver, I will look any coolant leaks periodically, but I honestly don't know when coolant was last put in so it just might be low from age
