Check the temp sensor on the radiator low on the passenger side, super easy to replace and notorious for leaking

ya I had to special order them, Napa tried to sell my NGKs with the Hex, it won't work. Our plugs have to have the 12 point on them so a thin walles socket will work. I'll try to find part number. They are pricey if memory serves (have about 40,000 miles on them)

Ok found the part number: NGK SILZKBR8D8S. They will run you about 18 dollars a piece, I only recommend these if you plan on doing a tune or running higher then Stock boost

Looks like you were 100% correct. Just looked down at that sensor and there is a trace of coolant. Now I wonder if it is possible to quickly swap it without draining the radiator.

I have a Cornwell one, they run about 140$, but they sell cheaper ones also. the poor mans coolant drain and fill kit is a cheap 12v bilge pump and a hose, with clean containers for the used coolant

I had kinda stupid issue the other days. Was trying to close the hood, touched that rubber skirt around the grill, didn't even pull it, but the whole assembly fell off - chromed ring on one side and grill on the other. I looked how to put it back together and found that all plastic tabs that hold assembly together were broken, but one, that still held it in place. The last one broke off when I tried to put it together. Looked at the other grill and exactly same problem - all tabs were broken. After some thinking I found a way how to put them back together and secure with some stainless wire in the way that it can't be seen.

I had mine all blacked. I like it better that way, but each to their own.
