Yeah me too 202k miles is alot but like i've been told "its better to own a car that has 202k miles and has been taken care of rather than a car that has been beaten to hell with low miles"

Welcome, nice looking car. Is your car leaking coolant or overheating?

I dont think its doing either, but yesterday when I checked the coolant level it was clear it was low, but i waited to see if it would leak, didnt see any signs of leaking. Its clear I dont have a blown head gasket or anything like that. But even after putting coolant in the "coolant level" light was still on. thats my main issue. my other issue is when I first start it, the air and information center dont turn on immediately. it takes a few minutes for them to turn on.

Heyy! Welcome to the forum! Looks like a nice monte! Just for some reason seems strange to me that whoever owned it before you put that nice expensive hood on instead of getting a better looking spoiler for it lol

Welcome to the forum! Regarding the CPS you can follow this link http://www.autozone.com/autozone/rep...btitle=replace
and it'll give you instructions on how to remove/replace/test the sensor.

welcome to the family !!The sensor on the coolant system gets plugged some times so you can flush the system real good or you can just replace the sensor
