wires all changed and...SES light!
Same three codes mis on 5 & 6 and multiple misfires. I did change the plugs (they are new also) with the cylinder next to it and got the same codes too before I changed the wires out. I don't get it(how many times have you said that?). I saw sparks off of both wires when I misted them and it runs so smooth now at idle. However, sometimes it gets a little ruff then the SES came on. Being an intermittent idle issue I'm not sure what to test next.

When I pulled off the wires I laid flat on my stomach on top of the engine with an old camping sleeping pad as a cushion. Uncomfortable but it worked. I also snapped off both the brake booster vac line and the crankcase ventilation fitting where they connect to the upper intake. I recommend you disconnect both before lying on top of them.

Todays update, I replaced both heater hoses and the upper rad hoses. I flushed the system then sucked out the remaining water with my shop vac. I like that idea by the way. No more dexcool. Followed the RAVE on refiling. My question, I know some still have air in the system when that have followed the directions to a T, how long before you know you have air? I drove it a couple of times this morning and no indication of overheating. I am paranoid, Would It have showed by now? I have run it with the heat on for about 10 minutes as well.

After it sits overnight and everything cools all of the way down, the system will usually try to purge itself of air then (always successful in my case) and that's when you will notice the level in the overflow tank has dropped a bit when you look it over the following morning. That's when you top-off and it will be fine the next time that you drive it, but after it cools down that second time, it will probably have burped and displaced air again, at which point you add again. You just have to check the level for the first few days.
