I had this problem like 4 months ago aswell, the coolant temperature sensor fixed it back then. It came back like a week ago, I changed the sensor again, but now it didn't fix it. What could be the cause? I had the same problem after replacing the thermostat/sensor assy. with non-OEM parts. Ended u...

I had the iPD HD coils but the tops cracked. Top of my engine is quite hot and may have been the cause. I reverted to the original Bosch ones. I note the iPD HD ones are no longer available. I have just picked up a replacement Bosch set but have yet to install them. While shopping for a new set of ...

I'll bring it all and see if you might yet be interested in the cargo carpet and splash pan. More intereste...

what part of Seattle? I would be interested in the Haynes Manual and possibly the cargo roll-up cover. *I'm in GH and UP
