You'll probably have to remove the ignition coil to get access to the two hoses going into the firewall....Once those hoses are accessable, connect the two hoses together with some 90° pipe connectors.

Re: heater core is leaking

Find the heater hose coming from the back of the intake, on the passenger side.
get a long enough piece of hose to run from the intake to the radiator.
Thats all I did, and it works fine.

Don't know about yours, but on my v6 the the in and out hose are side by side on the firewall.I would just disconnect them and clamp them onto a piece of pipe together..

Re: heater core is leaking

I was wondering the same thing.. bout the heater core

I was thinking of... having one hose from the fire wall go right back in the other side.. and the other hose at the radiator turn back in.. as well..
kinda loop the fluid from the radiator back in.. instead of going thru the
core..... mines leaking toooo.........
