Re: Coolant Light Flashing (jman73)
The coolant level sensor in the top of the coolant resevoir tends to fall apart with regular frequency. Could be the added pressure in your system after fixing the leak has shown it's fallablity. So pull it out and check and see if the probe end is split badly. Also, make sure it's snugged down in the tank. If it's bad, it can send some wierd data through the system. The problem is probably with the resevoir level sensor, because I think if the sensor in the outlet gives off a bad reading, the needle pegs.
Still though, since you were messing in that area, you should check the connections, and possibly replace the temperature sensor in the outlet as well, since the increased pressure can mess with that old sensor too. Both sensors are easy to replace yourself, but if you're replacing the one on the outlet, you will leak some coolant when you pull it out.
