Joegr (or whoever can help), I'm having the same problem as the original poster. I recently had my coolant temp. sensor replaced and since I got it back from the shop, the fan is always on high speed, although the speed seems to be dependant on the RPM's of the vehicle. Any thoughts as to...

I got the drivers side rear bolt off, but the pass is unscrewed almost all the way, but it is still hitting the intake and it seems like it wouldn't come out anyway b/c the intake is too low. Any tips on how to get it off. I used the swivel socket to break it loose and hand turned it until it...

Or anyone who knows the answer.

Oddball or anyone who can help I got the part and I'm in the middle of changing it. I have the upper radiator hose, thermostat and housing off and the front two bolts from the bottom of the tower off. How did you get the back two off? The intake won't let my socket fit on the back and my...

Hello, is this the part that contains the threads that the engine fill cal screw onto? I need that part and I hope this is it.

Thanks.

So, while bleeding the cooling system, the engine fill cap was not screwed on tight enough, so it was leaking. I was searching for the sound and when I realized it was the engine fill cap, I tapped it and it broke off some of the plastic piece that the cap screws onto. I need a new one of...

Joe, Thanks Who makes a good OBDII scan tool for reading the Check AdvanceTrac code. I hear the autotap readers are pretty good. Any suggestions.

Joegr, Everything is back together finally. Question, is it normal for the fan to increase speed when the throttle is increased. When I hit the gas, she sounds like a B-52, but as I let off, the fan dies down somewhat.

You're a lifesaver

If you're looking at the bottle from the front of the car, there are two openings for a coolant hose. Which one gets the coolant hose, the one with the metal piece inside or rear one. Putting my car back together after months of it being down and I cam remember. Thanks.

joegr, After finally getting a chance to look, Im getting the check advance trac and the car with the lines behind it is on (the one that comes on when the advance trac is working. Does that narrow it down to the wheel speed sensor? Thanks

Joegr, Thanks. How can I narrow down the check advance trac issue (to one of the three mentioned). Also, what type of wiring issue could cause teh trunk problem. After the wiring nightmare I just finished, I hope its not related!

Thanks. Is that prone to failure or likely just disconnected?

I had previous issues regarding some damaged wires under the hod. Got that solved, (finally) but I now have two messages that I didn;t have previously. Firstm I have teh check advance trac message, although I believe that's due to a faulty wheel speed sensor on the front drivers hub. Any...
