Installed New Motor

[JJohanson]

I just installed a new motor in my 2003 celica and my heater isn't working. Does anyone know where I can find a Diagram for all of my coolant hoses?

Celica Coolant Bleeding Procedure

This is the method I have found to work best for bleeding the coolant at home in the driveway. There are better ways (vacuum system) if you have a fully equipped automotive shop. This is merely my opinion, not an official or approved repair, and I take no responsibility for the health and wellbeing of anyone who uses it or their vehicles.

Important Note: The engine and hoses will get hot so be sure to wear gloves and keep your hands clear of the belts and fans.

Step 1 – place car on a incline with front pointed up towards the higher end of incline
Step 2 – Make sure car is in neutral or park and set emergency brake and put wheel chocks behind rear wheels
Step 3 – unbolt coolant reservoir with 10mm wrench and hang it from the hood with some string or bungee cords to further elevate it
Step 4 – Jack the front end of the car up as high as you can to ensure that the radiator and coolant bottle are by far the highest point in the system.
Step 5 – Open the reservoir cap and the while bleeder and start adding coolant to the coolant bottle. Continue to add until coolant overflows and level stops going down.
Step 6 – Squeeze and release coolant hose on drivers side a number of times – this should release air bubbles. Continue to squeeze this hose and add coolant for as long as the air bubbles keep coming.
Step 7 – Massage the 2 heater hoses and see if that frees up any air bubbles – massage drives side radiator hose after doing heater hoses for a while.
Step 8 – Start car and turn on A/C, turn heat all the way to may hot and the blower on high.
Step 9 – let car run and continue to complete steps 5 – 7 until the air bubbles stop working their way out, all radiator and heater hoses are hot and the heater blows hot (it may be necessary to goose the throttle to increase coolant circulation through the heater core)
Step 10 – top off coolant reservoir and replace to normal position and bolt in place. Monitor coolant level for next couple of days and add coolant as necessary.

The trick to the process is in squeezing / massaging the hoses, it will help move the air bubbles through the system and get the air out.
