Burping the coolant cost me a coil pack!
 
Well was trying to get a few bubbles out of the coolant. Did a search and found that some had success with removal of the coolant tube in the rear of the intake elbow. Like a fool I should have put a tube on it or something to let it drain further out from the engine, or disconnected the battery. Well I let a bet run off pretty much were the tube was at, engine off mind you, and was filling the coolant up at the same time until fluid was running out the coolant tube. Well to make a long story short the car didn't want to start after that. Did a test and I shorted out the trailing 2 coil pack, and/or wires, because some of the coolant juice got on that coil pack. T1, L1, L2 all work fine. So take this as a lesson and learn from my experience.

Peace
