Get some engine degreaser and liberally spray down the engine. You need to clean it all up. Let it dry for a day. Come back the next day, turn on the engine and see where the leak is coming from. Report back your findings and bring me cookies.

Neutral Safety Switch?

Same place on both the ej22 and ej25?

"coolant drain plugs are". You mean from the radiator, the drain plug?

Interesting. I have lived in Chicago and Boston my entire life, places not very enjoyable in the winter. I never let the car idle nor has it ever failed to start because of the cold, tho it sometimes takes an extra crank. How much is a block heater? How do you install it?

What is the benefit of a block warmer?

The new metal PCV/Oil Separator Plate arrived and I replaced it. The old one was plastic. Also replaced the rear main seal, cam and crank seals. New exhaust manifold came today. Moved the water pump from old engine to the new. Also moved over the compatible timing components, idler and new timing belt. Getting gaskets for exhaust in morning. Going to install engine in the morning. Once I know it turns on and works I'll order a new set of wires for it. I am going to reuse the NGK Laser Platinum from the old engine.

:clap:

You, sir, are an incredible human being. Thank you.

Is it the same part number as the ej25?

Alright, I'll show this to my buddy in the morning. It'll be easier and quicker. One last question: is there a PCV Plate behind the flex plate on this engine? I know I replaced the one on my old EJ25 as it was plastic and leaking. Does it exist on the ej22 and, if so, should I replace it?

I hear that. I'm going to post in the wanted section here and also use car-part. I'll call the yards and make 100% sure that the intakes have both the EGR and canister ports.

I think it answers the question perfectly. So, where can I get an intake for the 22 that has both EGR and the charcoal canister ports?

The car is a 97 OBW AT. The engine is unknown. I know it had 58k in 2006, so I am assuming it's a late 90s. I am trying to get the VIN of the original and check that way.

Sent you a PM.

The car has a canister under the hood, in the front by the passenger side. Are you saying that there is a line I can splice into from the rear under the bumper?

I have an ej22 engine sitting here to go in place of my old ej25. There doesn't seem to be any lines for the charcoal canister. Does the ej22 use a charcoal canister? Is there a workaround? There is EGR on this intake but I can't find any hoses for the charcoal canister. Did some of the EJ22s have intakes come with EGR but no charcoal canister? Thanks!

Check tire pressure? Dragging brakes?

Have you replaced the plugs, wires and air filter recently? What about the fuel filter?

Better to be pissed off than pissed on. Sorry. :/

OK. The OE plugs are the NGK Laser Platinum. I had misfires even using the Bosch Platinum. They all went away when I got the NGK plugs and OE wires.

You put in the wrong plugs. You also probably used the wrong wires. NGK Laser Platinum plugs, OE wires.

Seafoam. Check for vacuum leaks.
