Update: I got the tank in from parts.com - put that in - kind of a pain but feasible. So far - thermostat, coolant tank, MAF, air tube, cleaned up the air filter Still misfire - the only other parts the dealer said needed replaced were the o2 sensors. I'll have advanced auto clear...

I put the thermostat in, the air tube, mass air flow, cleaned the k&n filter, put the inner fender back in that i took out when i had the 20s on to help keep the road dirt from the air box. I took your advance on the tank I'm ordering that online today, prob the bottom hose to because i dont...

OK I went up to advanced auto and bought the MAF. I got the wiper arm off just a little more force than I was expecting and some twist. I picked up a thermostat. The air tube was cracked/ripped where the front peice hangs off right in the seem so a child prob stepped on it when it was...

What tool is used to take out the screws holding the MAF? How could I clean it? This might be a resolution because the air filter was really dirty. I removed the inner fender wall when I had 20" rims on my car because of the rub not realizing the consequences and now my air filter gets dirty...

which gasket the thermostat or water pump gasket?

Is there any other way to check to see if its the water pump? The fan is extremely loud too.. I wasn't sure if the fan tends to have problems - it moves freely. I changed the thermostat gasket if that is what you mean by gasket.

My 00 LS is overheating. I replaced the thermostat with OEM part - no difference. I read that turning the heat on full blast will help... When I do this is keeps the temp down to normal all together... Would this lead you to believe that my issue is radiator? I don't see any leaks in...
