Finally!!!!11

after about 3 or 4 months i finally got my running last nite. after sitting my starter doesnt work anymore so i have to fix that. i also have isues with the coolent level sensor or something. it keeps telling me to add coolant. the car will be running for about a minut then the buzzer will go off saying add coolant, and my ABS light whont go off but this is only running my car once around the block. my Autometer boost gauge is reading vacum and its idling around 2k i think. but the weird thing is that it boosts's fine and runs fine. the boost goes out of the vacume and goes up to 8 or 9. kinda weird, but im so happy now.also my RB DP doesnt go well with my stock cat and the apex exhaust. anyone have a precilenser they wanna sell me?

well you need to add some more water, and check to see if the wire is connected to thewater level sensor on top of the radiator.
The boost gauge is supposed to read a vacuum until you start making boost, that's normal.

make sure everything is connected at the master cylinder and clean the brakes/wheelwells...could be crap built up on the ABS sensors

as for your idle make sure you check and adjust idle speed when the car is warm, the car does have a short warmup stage where it will idle up temporarily...make sure you're at operating temps then adjust or try to figure out the idle. it could be a vacuum leak from a hose or gasket...
