One of us is confused. Perhaps you can rephrase the question you're asking. Again, every CPS has the three coil commons tied together in the pigtail and brought out to the connector as one wire (signal common -G). As far as I know this is true across all model years.

Ok, then check the valve until you had a definite answer. Confirmed means confirmed. Good luck...

Dunno. Doesn't look like the coolant sensor but are you sure it's connected? The sensor is behind the water neck on the engine side of the thermostat. I ask because if the coolant temp sensor is open (code 22) the ECU defaults to thinking the engine is always hot. That means a cold start and...

Sure, post one. If I don't see it someone else will. Btw you don't have any codes right?

Yes, ohm the coils if you can and then test the valve under power again like the book says. If it clicks but doesn't move either take it apart to find out why or buy another one. Me, I'd want to know why it clicks but doesn't move and I wouldn't let go until I knew. Dunno what that connector...

Then it all comes down to testing it off the car. Just be sure you're testing per the book (it appears you are) and there's definitely no movement. Odd that it would click and not move though. If the motor is good electrically and the bearings are ok no movement should be repairable. If no...

Putting a "tail" on the shaft or pintle magnifies its movement and allows you to see individual steps. Think about the hands on a clock. Do the coils ohm out to spec? Sure it didn't get bound up during assembly? If it clicks it should step. About this 1200 rpm thing. Are you unplugging...

Sure it's not stepping? Helps to put a cable tie or wire on the pintle to see it.

1) Yep, thanks for posting. 2) Credit goes to Chambers 3) Schematics are good things. 4) 3p is quick to help. Me, not so much...

Uh, that joke and ones like it are older than dirt...

I understand most here weren't around and it may seem like nothing these days but trust me, it was a very big deal: http://tinyurl.com/3no3zpq

Yea, my engine was losing fluids like crazy right off the dealer's lot before eventually stopping. Was even worse just after I rebuild it but then got better. I'm pretty sure they're supposed to do that :)

Then there's something wrong with it. Always means always. That's why I put the * there...

Not sure what you're getting at. Every CPS I've seen has the three coil grounds connected together prior to exiting the pigtail. Only one ground is brought out to the connector.

With no leaks and everything working right the cooling system on this car will *always* be completely full.

It'd be easier to weld even if you have to tow the car. And be careful when tightening NPT fittings because they're tapered. Don't run them in very far on thinwalled or soft material.
