2 questions

first, the car is beeping 5 times, then pauses for a second then beeps five times again. i figured it was the coolant level, so i checked it. it was low so i refilled it. the beeping is still going on do i have to reset it?

Second, if i rev the car to maybe 5 grand the rpms drop after i let me foot off the gas, and shuts off. it doesnt hold at 1000 anymore. im guessing its time for a rebuild, could i be wrong?

Where are you filling the coolant at?

Do a compression test before just blindly having the engine pulled.

It's a common misconception which is why I asked. The coolant level sensor is in that housing which is the Thermostat Housing. So if your coolant level sensor is beeping in the cockpit, you need to check the level from that cap (when the car is cool).

A 1/2 inch or so below the top is fine.
