How hot is hot? Is your electrical fan kicking on like it's supposed to.

yea sounds about right. As long as you keep it out of the red your ok. Sitting in traffic or the drive thru mine will top out at about 225. Efan brings it down quickly though.

WOW IM ACTUALLY GOING TO GIVE ADVICE FOR ONCE!!!! WOOT!
ok lol
on your fuel rail is a valve sometimes covered with a lil black cap (similar or exactly the same as a schrader aka tire valve stem.) watch your eyes. get a rag ready because if there is a ton of pressure you will get sprayed with fuel. Get something pointy and push on the little valve. If your getting any sort of fuel pumping action from the pump there will be some pressure in that fuel rail. watch your eyes.
If not get a new pump.

Can anyone do me a huge favor and take a quick picture as to where the O2 sensors are located. any verbal description I have read makes me unsure.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

you have two screwed into the exhaust downpipe from the engine. One is in front of the catalytic converter, the other is behind it. The front one controls engine operation, the back one controls emissions error codes.

To bleed these is a bleeder screw on top of the slave cylinder. Have a friend press in the clutch, unscrew the screw to release the pressure, screw it back in, then have then let up on the clutch pedal. Rinse and repeat.
