I finally finished the last piece of work on the car for a little bit of time. I bled the brakes and clutch with the help of my roommate. I went for a test drive and the car felt a lot better. Shifting was more precise and no more clunking in the rear from the crapped out half shaft. The last work to be done where I have parts laying around is the coolant flush and fuel filter.
I went driving again tonight and ran into what I hope didn't screw up the engine. I started up the car to warm up a bit while I was moving another car. Ended up running into a neighbor and talking for a bit. Came back to find the coolant temperature gauge at 3/4th!!!! I freaked out and turned off the engine ASAP. Turned it back to position two and turned on the AC in hopes to cool it off quickly. Interestingly enough the oil temperature gauge was only at 1/4th. I'm hoping the coolant temperature sensor is messed up. Maybe I'll be doing coolant sooner than later. The car ran flawless after letting it cool down a bit.
I also picked up a new set of keys for the car today. They work flawlessly and have the cheesy useless light on them as well. $2 more compared to the standard one, so why not?! I'm still getting a weird buzzing near the fuel fill up when unlocking the car with the new keys. Any ideas?
