So the mechanic told me it could be the radiator. Seems when the engine first starts its okay but when it starts to get hot after some driving the radiator would leak a whole lot, put hot water back into the engine or something, maybe causing the temp gauge to go crazy. So i'm getting that fixed.

Yeah I know there are other hoses, just that one was the only hose i saw that was clearly broken in half. But a broken vacuum hose could still cause all these symptoms? The sensor I got was a new aftermarket one, duralast i believe, from a local autoparts shop. i used the cross reference #3545031 to...

ok well apparently my check engine light was burnt out so if it wasn't on before it is definitely on now with the new ect sensor. the problem didn't go away. if it sits overnight, the first startup goes fine and the temp sensor VERY slowly moves to normal position. Any consecutive times after that i...

Thanks Sommerfeldt, I replaced the temp sensor. The old one's connector was all corroded together with the other connection and it didn't look good for both pieces when i disconnected them/pulled apart. I also took out the maf sensor and sprayed it down good. Temp gauge was slow to work the first ti...

OK so the Intercooler hoses are all good. I looked under the airfilter box and there was 3 color coded lines, the yellow and red were very brittle and definitely will have to change if i can find a tutorial but i think right now it's still fully connected. The blue line was completely missing like h...

hmm ok I'll check the hoses and clear codes, but I recently got the Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit and have already replaced those hoses, except the one L shaped hose that's under the car, beneath the radiator, but it seemed okay at the time.

so i don't have an OBDII reader but here's the OBD codes from under the hood A2 315-EVAP system 232-Long term fuel trim, idling 241-EGR system flow malfunction 113-fuel trim limit? A5-there wasn't even a port, just a hole, i could see right through it A6-nothing...not sure why but pressing and waiti...

Hello all, lately my car has been behaving weird. At start up in the morning, it starts up rough and then the gas pedal will have poor response or won't respond at all and then it will randomly accelerate a little on it's own. This happens for about a minute or two and then car starts to act like no...

thanks, that's what i thought... I didn't realize how much of a hassle this replacement turns into when you throw in an egr. i tried to search more for other people with this issue...anways i was running out of time, I had work the next day and ended up biting the bullet and our family mechanic agre...

should i just remove the lower four bolts?? does having an EGR mean there's more bolts to take off??
