low coolant light, plenty of coolant (on dipstick) Should I just put more water in? I don't want it running all over w/ an overfill. It's above the full hot on the dipstick.
Haven't had the motor apart or done a refill. The dipstick was coated with gunk, but not oil.
Never hit it w/ nitrous or anything.

Re: low coolant light, plenty of coolant (on dipstick) If it's full, don't add anything. This is a common problem on cars with the sensor (it was deleted on later year cars just for this reason). Remove the sensor and clean it. If that don't work, it's probably bad..
