CAUTION
Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when
hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when
draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted
to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an
uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal
in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable
container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is
several years old.
Drain the coolant until the level of the coolant is below the level of the thermostat.
Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the water hose connection.
Unfasten the three water inlet connection retaining bolts and remove the water hose connection.
Remove the gasket and thermostat from the water hose connection. Discard the gasket.
To install:
Clean the water inlet connection mating surfaces.
The jiggle valve on the thermostat must be in the up position.
Place the thermostat in the water hose connection making sure the thermostat jiggle valve is facing up.
Install the new gasket and place the water hose connection assembly into position.
Install the water hose connection assembly retainers and tighten them to 89-124 inch lbs. (10-14 Nm).
Connect the upper radiator hose to the water hose connection.
Fill the engine with coolant, start the engine and check for leaks.
Stop the engine and top off the coolant recovery reservoir as necessary.

Unfasten the two water inlet connection retaining bolts and remove the water inlet connection.
Remove the O-ring seal and thermostat from the water inlet connection. Inspect the O-ring for damage and replace as necessary.
To install:
Clean the water inlet connection mating surfaces.
Install the O-ring, thermostat and the water inlet connection.
Refer to the accompanying illustration If you can't remember how the
O-ring and thermostat are positioned.
Install the water inlet connection assembly retainers and tighten them to 71-106 inch lbs. (8-12 Nm).
Connect the lower radiator hose to the water inlet connection.
Fill the engine with coolant, start the engine and check for leaks.
Stop the engine and top off the coolant recovery reservoir as necessary.

The pull tab for the front passenget seat looks like the one you pull to release the rear seat backs. It should be on the outside (door side) of the seat cushion. NOTE: The SE models didn't come with a fold-flat seat. If you have an SE, chances are you don't have this feature.

Remove the plug completely and check the internal pin and socket contacts. Spray the outside of the male socket with WD40 and offer the two connectors squarely together until it locks.

Throttle Body Relearn:
After replacing the throttle body, it's crucial to perform a relearn procedure to ensure proper communication between the new components and the car's computer.
Here are some methods to reset the throttle position sensor (TPS):
OBD2 Scanner:
Use an OBD2 scanner compatible with your car model.
Look for the throttle sensor reset feature in the scanner.
Follow the scanner's instructions to reset and calibrate the TPS.
Accelerator Pedal Method:
Turn the ignition to the ON position (without starting the engine).
Push the accelerator pedal down fully for about 20 seconds.
Release the pedal slowly and turn off the car.
Start the engine normally and check if the situation improves.
Fuse Removal:
Locate the fuse box (details in the owner's manual).
Remove the fuse related to the throttle body (leave it out for about 10 minutes).
Reinsert the fuse.
The throttle body sensor should reset.
Driving the Vehicle:
Drive the car on the highway at speeds over 40 mph.
Accelerate and decelerate slightly.
Repeat this process to allow the sensor to reset.
Additionally, there's a helpful YouTube video that specifically describes the relearn procedures after replacing the throttle body and the throttle position sensor (TPS) .
Check for Other Issues:
Ensure that the ignition coils, spark plugs, and front oxygen sensors are in good condition.

If one needs replacing, so will all the others. Easiest way is to separate the engine from the transmission and hoist the engine out of the car . That way you'll have access to all the freeze plugs
Lower Intake to the block: use sequence pattern below, tighten to 15 Nm, then go back in the same sequence and tighten to 32 NmUpper to The Lower: Tighten to 10 Nm in the pattern, then go back and tight to 12 Nm in the same sequence pattern
Won't turn over? You turn the key and nothing happens, the engine doesn't crank? Any click from the starter?
Or
The starter motor turns the engine over but is doesn't start / fire.
The best way to diagnose is to find a local auto electrician. A professional grade scan tool computer can diagnose all the electrical computer systems, modules and sensors.
