The coolant was coming from a hose beneath the ignition module mounting plate, the plate was pushing down on a clamp and making it leak. Strange, I didnt touch that clamp, and the plate was put back in the exact place it came out from, but somehow it made it leak when I reinstalled it.


I replaced the battery clamps, cleaned grounds, and made sure there was 0 ohm resistance from the neg terminal to the wiring harness grounds on the inner fenders and ignition module harness grounds on the common chamber.

Drove it some more this morning. A few minutes after I started driving the airbag and check transmission lights came on, then went out. It was behaving at time, not under heavy acceleration. The oil pressure gauge still cuts out at 600 rpm idle, and comes back up to normal at 1000 rpm.

Under heavy accel at ~90 mph and 4800 rpm would waver very slightly, it would have been unnoticeable except I was looking for it. After driving for ~30 miles and 25 minutes or so it started doing the bucking again under heavy accel at lower rpms 3500-4500.

No lights though, and no total failures since the battery was replaced.

I hate to gamble on $200 alternator. But nothing else would make airbag lights come on. Still havent found out whats wrong with the AC now, the clutch wont pull in even if I press in on it .
