1jzgte 3 coolant lines!?
Okay, sooo i followed this thread:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...d-coolant.html
and damn near hydro locked my motor. because i put these two together like someone said in the thread. i grabbed a longer hose and blew air into port b and i could see water inside the intake manifold moving. this cant be a coolant port!! also, im assuming its because these 3 lines are flowing but my temperature will go really high and its 65 degrees here and im using cold water and a low temp thermo. i let the water sit in the motor for a lil while to get warmed up, and let the engine cool down. i started it back up and it doesnt read right. however the hotter the temp gauge goes the better the motor starts to run. so is this because of the 1jz swap or because of the coolant not flowing through a sensor
do these 2 go together or not?
this is how i have the car right now and its running alot better (iv changed my oil about 3-4 times now to get all the water out
the third coolant line
^ you can see i capped a coolant line that wraps behind the head.
^another picture of hose i blocked
help get my car done:

I hooked up the lines like the guys suggested and I been running OK so far but have a few issues with the car. I dont know if it involves these lines being routed the way they are. I have low-rough idle, engine sputters when boosting.
Last night I had a coolant line popped on me, had to have the car towed home. The leak is somewhere under the intake manifold. I didnt get a chance to take a look at it but will do it sometime tomorrow.
Now Im questioning too if these lines are suppose to go where I hooked them up to. Someone clarify this, please.

like thats where i thought itd go but honastly i dont know how i have so much water in my oil without having a blown headgasket (i had this motor in my old car which ran perfect maybe a month ago.)
i have no idea if this really is the problem but the motor seems to be running alot better once it warms up. it sounds like dog crap before (the thing is.. this is the reason why coolant goes into the tb, it adjusts to the water temp)

How long have u been running the engine like that when u had the coolant lines hooked up?
I put over 300miles on my rebuilt engine so far(still breaking it in) and havent noticed any coolant in my intake or oil, but I havent changed my oil or checked the intake manifold.
When I repair the leaking coolant line I'll check my oil and intake manifold of any signs of coolant

It wasn't over heating had to ground a wire for the temp sender. I believe the plate inside of my tb is broke so it sends water into the intake. I have no more water in my oil since I took this hose off. Im goin to join it with the hose in the back
