Unfortunately, the alarm went off again twice when it was being loaded onto the flatbed, the battery seems fine.

In the 99 is the immobilizer still under the seat?

It would have to be very slow. There has been no perceptible change in the water level since I last changed fluids a few months back. No signs of any type of leak.

99 coolant light blinking

So my 99 coolant light started blinking this morning while driving my son to work. Engine temp was normal, no visible leaks, coolant level stable. Any thoughts?

It was neat when I had it, was sad when I sold it, but I really couldn't keep up with it. I had no business having it in the first place. I was young and stupid and thought I could handle maintenance...

I would also consider the PCA. I guess less important than which specific DE I were to try and take, my main concern would be the likelihood of blowing out my engine.

Well, this is my first 986, I have a suspicion that it will not be THE 986. I'm going to try and baby it, but I'll save the true anal retentiveness for the S when I get around to it.

That's a beautiful car. If I hadn't just bought my '99, I would almost have contemplated flying down from NY to drive her home.
