      Just did some test that found out that the alternator might be the culprit all this time, did a load test this mourning, idle condition (14.15v) perfect, put load in (AC full, lights on, blinker, etc.), drop to a (12.6v), could alternator be draining my battery??

        I agree with using a large pair of vice grip to take it out.

            The problem is you really need a spill free funnel to properly bleed the system without making a mess, it’s not really expensive, purging out air in the system is the way to prevent overheating.

                When you flush out coolant, are you absolutely sure you purge out all the air?

                    It sounded like a worn wheel bearing would be making that kind of noise.

                        p0170 and p0171 usually means bad or dirty MAF sensor, i remember one of those are fuel too lean code, best way is to smoke out the leak area, check the boot around the intake, vacuum lines, etc.

                        I don’t think this car has a MAF, but it does have IAC and MAP, right?

                            does it only happen when you start the engine, and goes away when engine is warm.

                            If it is then it probably belt too tight or loose, tensioner, or pulley.

                                Why waste money when it’s still working fine.
