it's probably the coolant level sensor...there's a wire that should run to the top of the radiator thats probably not connected...if it warms up fine and doesnt over heat thats it

Yea it probably is the coolant level sensor wire, I noticed that there is a wire on top of the radiator that isn't connected to anything, so I'll fix that and hopefully the buzzing will go away. Where does that wire connect to?
Yes, I know the rear wheels are on backwards.

Yep I plugged in the idiot lights and that says add coolant, so its gotta be the cut coolant level sensor wire. So I looked around in the engine bay a bit and I couldn't find where it used to be connected, so where does it go? I did a search too and couldn't find anything so far, but I'll continue my search and see if I can find and answer.

You'll have to solder it in on the connector which is located ontop of your radiator. It's on the passenger side of the lid for the radiator I think. Don't have my car here or I'd go check ;(

Alright, I looked at the FSM wiring diagrams and it seems that the wire goes to a harness under the airbox. Someone said that same thing in a thread when I was searching, so I went out and took the airbox completely out and looked around that area for a cut wire but I couldn't find anything. I guess I'll have to look harder tomorrow. I'll probly jack the car up and look under it for any hanging wires, because there is a lot of wire thats left connected to the sensor, like 2 or 3 ft worth.

Well I got all the parts linked together on my site now.
The past couple days I worked on takin off the front bumper cover to figure out what to do about the passenger headlight getting jammed. So I figured out its just gettin jammed on the bumper because its bent severely from when the guy hit something or something hit him. Im thinkin I'll just take the bumper off and drill out the mounting holes so that I can mount it farther out where it is supposed to be. After thats fixed, I'm gonna fix the windshield wipers. Then get new carpet and put the interior back together. I'll keep updating with pics and stuff. I guess this is Part 2.5.

Now that it's warm out again I'll be workin on my car more. I'm gonna get some interior pics up in a couple days... pretty much all of the interior is back together now. Pics are new and improved 800x600 now too.
