trouble pinpointing a coolant leak
#41
Success!!! She's together and purring like a kitten...and no leaks. It was the spark plug cables. I had the po301 and po305 codes again. I swapped the cables on cylinder 5 and 3 and the code po303 came up. Sooo, O'Reilly's got me a set today, got them in, and she ran like a champ.
I think I did a whole lot of extra work for nothing. But I do have some new experience and a better understanding of my car. So it is what it is.
The p/s sounded awful, but after driving it a bit sounds like it used to. That was weird. It sounded really bad.
I still haven't found where that connector goes. Is there a diagram of some sort that I can reference those connectors that are grouped together by the p/s reservoir? If I can at least figure out what part of the circuit it belongs to, I might can find where it goes. I have yet to find anything not working.
Thanks again for wall the help!!!!

It's always something, lol.
I did my timing belt service, buttoned everything up -- within' the next 3 days, my alternator went out, I had a mysterious no start issue (no crank, just a click and it wasn't the battery -- fixed itself before I could figure out what the problem was), rear brake caliper seized, then a headlight issue after I adjusted them too far inwards causing it to pop off the adjustment *****, had to remove the headlights, open them up and fix that.. lol.
But as you touched on, the learning experience is a great, especially when your wrenching pays off in the end.

Congrats!

Thanks CRuby. I'll go see if I can find out. Sounds promising.

As for the question about which is better... OEM pink lasts longer, but the green stuff isn't bad.
