Default Temperamental car...

Two weeks ago, all coolant drained out while driving home from work. Last night, air bag light flickering. Now wipers won't stop wiping after I shut them off.

My kid has a 1999 Integra that just runs and runs without the drama.

Sounds like you have some electrical gremlins living in your dash.

Default You should have sold your avant to me last summer when we exchanged emails.

You admitted that you wanted too much.

Default Hi George...what was the coolant problem ?

the electrical issues might prompt checking that harness that was rubbing on the firewall. Let me know if I can help.

Default Thanks Ed...

The green topped temperature sensor broke (some sort of plastic clip) and it worked its way out of its normal location. Quite a mess.

I thought about the wiring harness. I'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks.
