hopefully its just your coolant temp sensor in front of the driver's side header not being plugged in. Mine was cracked during my header install and my installer neglected to mention it. either way, it should be easy enough to locate

i just checked mine and it is the plug. the only problem is that it was broken during the install too. how much does it cost to get fixed?

Last ones i did, i went from bottom (obviously), but i had nobody to help me hold them. i was using jack and stands lifted high as possible. i then realized the creeper seat (small, cheap with no back) sitting against the wall. i rolled over, grabbed it, and set the collector directly on the seat cushon. it held the header almost perfectly so i could start a couple of bolts and finished the other side the same...hope this helps anybody in the same situation.

I would say if I didnt have an issue with removing the passenger side mac's. I would of been had them done in about 2hrs. But I've been working on cars for a living going on 23 yrs.
