Please please help, replaced radiator-sputtering blinking cel

[anti-bling]

Finished filling coolant the correct way...cooling system is acting fine, it starts, idles, and revs without any issues. When I go to drive a block it spotters an cel begins blinking. Wtf is wrong with my engine? It couldn't be the coolingsystem--no leaks, front hoses to radiator are warm...ugh. Any input is appreciated. Now that I think about it, I did clean the maf while it was non op. Could it just be the maf? It feels like it, though the cel blinks occasionally.

it has air trapped and this allows spot overheating which can take out your engine.

pedrosgarage.com has an article on adding a third radiator which covers burping.

I did it!!!!! Not coolant issue, nor maf, or 02 sensor! Car had a little fire about a year ago: header touching power steering line informs you very quickly that it's a flammable liquid . I found a bunch of wires (5) that had been burned to a crisp and lost their housing. After separating all wires and re-wrapping in shrink wrap...it drives smoother than ever! I done even have a cel anymore due to my cai! Cleaning maf, all tubing and throttle body does work for dirty induction cel. What did I gain from all this diagnosing???

1. Radior isn't hard to replace. It's a fairly easy and very straight forward DIY.
2. Refilling coolant isn't as hard as I thought it to be, when I figured out that it wasn't the problem. Pedrosgarage.com is great for burping instructions.
3. Fire in engine compartment is bad.
3.5 burnt wires cause electrical issues.
4. I am confident I can fix ANYTHING...well that egotistical statement should wear off very soon.......

****************, my computer optical mouse stopped working...well, sooner than expected.

Happy motoring!
