I replaced the one in front right below dizzy with 2 plugs coming off I know the one behind it is for the gauge and its reading and i swapped it out with a spare one i had and the reading didn't change. Then I also replaced the one on the thermostat housing as well.
All of the readings on the cyl was in the 160's range if you need exact numbers i will have to retest again I didn't write them down.. so lmk if you guys want those. I double checked the wiring and everything seems ok.
I know im reaching at this point but my logic is saying small leak im really thinking about replacing all the smaller coolant hoses on the engine just to see if that makes a difference even though we did not get any loss of pressure or hissing noise when we did the pressure test on the system. I also have a spare radiator that I may swap out as well.
I know just switching parts isn't the way to fix the problem but as said before im having to refill my overflow container about once every 3 weeks im not getting any kind of smoke and when i get on the gas i don't have bad throttle response, my oil isn't milky looking i had a car before that was burning coolant so i know the signs of that.
Only issues ive had with the car assides from the check engine light is at times my idle is kind of crazy. when it gets warmed up i get idle surge but only in a blue moon. I know that has something to do with the iacv and I have a spare one of those I can swap out tomorrow as well.
Any
