| Jan 7, 2014 at 21:23 | comment | added | ashes999 | I'm not sure what type of engine I have, nor the size. Sorry. I'm not mechanically inclined by any stretch :) | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 20:06 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | I'm assuming you have a K20 variant engine? If you don't know, what size of engine is it? | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 19:31 | comment | added | ashes999 | I didn't see it. I'll try checking the manual and asking a service tech when I go for a service (soon). In the mean time, a picture of the engine would help, if you can find one (seems like you already have). | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 18:56 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | Yes, to find it you would. The cord would be long enough (if attached to the heater) to extend beyond the hood for easy connect/disconnect to an extension cord, but would be under the hood since you don't readily see it. | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 18:51 | comment | added | ashes999 | Very useful, thanks. Do I understand correctly, that I need to pop my hood to find the block heater? I thought it would be pluggable without opening the hood. | |

| Jan 7, 2014 at 17:36 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | Sorry, was assuming Ontario, CA was Calif ... guess you must be in Canada then ;-) Sorry for the confusion. I will update my question if this is correct? | |
| Jan 7, 2014 at 17:24 | comment | added | ashes999 | I'm not located in or around California, but the rest of your answer seems okay. I will investigate. | |
