Okay, i don't know about the other models, but on the 2.4 SS cars, the breather hose for the coolant is held in place by the intake, so if you swap that out, now the hose just lays there.


Now, the issue here is that it will be rubbing against the hot head/fuel rail which could eventually lead to a hole and coolant loss. that's bad.

So, using about $1 work of materials, i fixed that problem

I used about 3 inches of black plastic hard tubing (this bit is actually for a lawn sprinkler system, i had it laying around but i think it was about $0.89 for a 18 inch section), a hack saw (not pictured), two long zip ties, and some side cutters.


Step one. cut two 1-1.5 inch bits of tube. if you're really fancy you could measure, sand and paint them... i just eyeballed it and plan to neaten it up when i get around to polishing the valve cover.


Step two. Run the zip ties through those brackets already on top of the fuel rail.


Step Three. place the tube over the zip tie and wrap the tie over the metal part of the coolant line.


Step four, run it back down through the tube and zip the zip tie. Extra points for having the energy to use the side cutters to clip off the excess.


Step five, rejoice in the fact that your coolant line no longer flops around like a track runner with a hard on.
