[QUOTE="woodyw59, post: 1048621, member: 77951"] Sorry for the late response I did forget to mention I had tested the fuel pump and looked at out flow of gas from filter looked good I thought. Initial over heating started from heater valve breaking while riding down interstate coolant saturated pcm and various other connections, then radiator cracked more coolant all over everything. New harness proved to be a better way to go than randomly replacing connectors. Everything else you mentioned had been taken care of and over heating has not been an issue with new radiator and all other cooling components and thank goodness no apparent head damage however I do keep a very close eye on the oil and coolant. After your message I decided to first change the fuel filter anyway and another $20 and about 20 minutes later it appears that was the culprit no more hard starts and mpg is up about 4 mpg city driving. Guess I was to focused that it had to be something else Thank you very much it was very helpful to go back over everything [/QUOTE]
