Radiator rant
- Thread starter Longtallsally

For those particular ones going into the plastic, it seems a regular hex head bolt with the same self tapping ability would be best if for no other reason that being able to get a better bite on the fastener. Ah well, it's back together now so no worries.
I got it all flushed and buttoned back up. Good news is during the flush, zero gunk came out and the coolant was clean and green.
All that's left is to go get a couple gallons of 50/50 and load it up and bleed.
What's this? I might get to drive it this week? NO WAY!!

SUCCESS!!!! Well mostly. The bleeding process was way easier than everyone says and I'm all set there.
Temps are toggling from 190.4 to 194. Methinks I'm sorted.
However, after clearing the codes and driving a bit, the P1117 came back. I put in a new one (the lower one on the radiator), so I'm a bit confused there. Any ideas?
A little searching gave me a result where a guy cleaned up and did some dielectric grease on the contacts in the connector and all was well. The wire looks a little exposed, but doesn't look damaged in any way.

Cleared the codes again and got P1118 this time. Maybe I spoke too soon on my success for bleeding?
Edit: Doing some digging, looks like this one could be related to a wire not being happy. Oh goodie. I guess I need to get in there and look it over pretty good. Grrr....
