1998 Accord 6CYL LX- Coolant Bleeder. Where is it?
I have been trying very hard to just locate this valve, but for the life of me, I can not find it. Images online are too close.
I am having the idle hunt issue and I just want to bleed it to make sure that is not the problem.
Please someone help me. I feel very defeated
Thanks

Many cars don't have air bleed bolts.
Turn the heater control all the way to highest, this to open the heater valve; take off the radiator cap and fill coolant to neck of radiator.
Start car and let it run, keep topping off as air purges out of cooling system. You may want to rev the car gently to get the thermostat to open faster. Most of the purging occurs after the thermostat has opened. You can feel the lower radiator hose to see if it feels almost as hot at the upper radiator hose, to try to confirm the thermostat has opened.

As stated the 6 cylinder does not have a bleeder fitting. The best way is to use a radiator funnel, fill it, start car, turn temperature control to hot and let it idle until engine is hot and cooling fans circulate. Be sure that the A/C is off during this process.
