Went over and looked at the car again tonight. I can't get a reading on the ECT sensor because of an aftermarket oil presure sending unit that sits there. However, I did notice that if I push on the line that comes directly out of it (coolant line) again and again the AF gauge rises up and down.. up to where it should be then back down when I let off.. I have tried every trick that I know to get coolant in the system... just can't get any more than 8 quarts in it... and that's with the overflow being almost completely full.
