Need advise. So I got everything put together, started the car, back firing like it was in rage or something. So I went checked the wires going into opti relized the number 3 and and 5 were swapped. Fix that start the car again, no back firing, idols at 1000 rpm with ease. Problem lies here, check engine light is on, my buddy plugged his scanner in and the scanner is not picking up the cars PCM.....why? Do I need a special scanner? Second problem, the car temp gage was between half and 3/4, and still looked like it was going to continuing to rise. I'm thinking maybe its just air in the line but the feeder hose was ice cold the return was hot/warm. Does that make any sense? I shut the motor down before it got any hotter. I plan in the afternoon to work the air out the line..does anyone else feel that's my problem?
