good to hear it is not catastrophic, so you just need to replace belts, battery and alternator maybe?

Almost all the coolant blew out through the cap and reservoir overflow.

Let's not start a political debate. I just want to say whatever your opinions are about The Governator, this is awesome -

San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano recently heckled Arnold during a speech he was giving at a fund raiser.
Of the eight Ammiano bills sent to the governor's desk this year, Schwarzenegger vetoed six -- five of them after the Oct. 7 heckling incident.

Here's the letter Arnold sent him w/ a special hidden message.
http://gov.ca.gov/pdf/press/2009bill...to_Message.pdf
To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1176 without my signature.

For some time now I have lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many
unnecessary bills come to me for consideration. Water reform, prison reform, and health
care are major issues my Administration has brought to the table, but the Legislature just
kicks the can down the alley.

Yet another legislative year has come and gone without the major reforms Californians
overwhelmingly deserve. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is
unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.

Sincerely,

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Take the 1st letter of each line in the body of the message.

I got a new capture card for my xbox. I can capture game play in HD. Here's some samples.

Forza 3 Sample
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfbmzAyYAEo

Call of Duty 4 sample
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTufjD7w56o

Make sure to select HD. I just uploaded the Forza sample so it may not be available in HD for a while.

Loren: Dozer has a DIY for coils.
The thing to remember when doing the coil swap is to plug them back in properly.

When doing the spark plug wires, do them ONE at a time. It's the best way to make sure you don't plug a wire into the wrong spark plug.


This might help but check out dozer's DIY for the coils

You could always put tape on the plug wires that you've already done, that way you won't forget.
