Next time use an IR gun or just feel the rad for cold spots. Also check delta T between the upper and lower hoses. That way all this doesn't have to be such a mystery...

Crack me up. It basically comes down to people rising to the level of their own incompetence when fixing stuff. It's something that seems to be a theme among MKIII owners.

Directly grounding the subframe is a poor method and by chassis I meant body. The block needs direct grounding to return the starter and alternator current while the body needs it for everything else. Point was you pretty much had it right and for the reasons stated other than the body bonding...

Yep, that'll work. Btw this is also needed by the alternator so there'll be benefits from having it in that respect.

While a single chassis ground near the battery "works" it's not the right way to do things and when done that way the block still needs to be bonded to the chassis lest the starter return current find a destructive way home. The correct way is to provide the starter current a way back while also...

^ This, but to the chassis.

New ones (or used working ones for that matter) don't have continuity out of the car because there's no oil pressure. If it did the gage would max and burn out when KOEO. There should never be continuity at all times. It appears you aren't familiar with how the system works. Not that you can be...

^ Gotta love the comment about oil filters. That alone would be enough for me not to trust him.

Well regarded? You must have me confused with someone else. Anyway, telling you to read the book is not only constructive but one of the best answers you could have gotten. Don't blame me because you suck at this stuff...

Meh, I'm used to people wanting my nuts in a Dixie Cup. That said I can see both sides of the issue. Perhaps in the future I'll be kinder and gentler so as not to offend the delicate sensibilities of our more effeminate members. Nah...

Well, you can try not swapping parts you paid too much for. That code is set based on what OX is doing. Problem is you have to determine whether OX is bad or just doing what it's told. It's the old chicken or the egg thing...

Not the oil although it'd be nice to know what vis we're talking about. Also, there is no "t" in dexron...

Not sure why you think there should be continuity but here's an idea: testing things how the TSRM says usually yields better results...

OX. Nuff said.

For the benefit of other members this is wrong.

Huh. Maybe now you understand why I rarely reply to issues you may be having with the car. Or maybe not. It's all good. I'll bend over backwards for people who make at least some effort to help themselves. Those who're too lazy, want to be spoon-fed, or enjoy being dependent upon others, not...

^ This. And even when tapped the device needs to have a high impedance input. > 10 meg. Maybe I missed it but I don't recall the OP saying he'd tapped into anything. Not exactly a minor detail...

Crack me up. How can something so simple bamboozle so many?

^ It would certainly tell the tale. Loss of rest would cause far more problems hot than cold. After all vapor suppression is the main reason pressure is designed to be held.

^ Although it doesn't get set into memory that condition generates a code 51.
