I'm using a BAFX its $25 bucks and the Torque Pro is $5, but for just doing coolant temp you can just use the free version. There are cheaper ones out there, but bought one and it didn't work on GM cars. I spoke with a few guys at BAFX and they stand by their product. Some have had good luck with others, but it seems like a crapshoot at least the BAFX guys are in the U.S. and they will support it.

also make sure your overflow bottle is filled properly and that the hose isn't leaking. If you get any air out of the system make sure to keep an eye on the coolant level in the overflow.

Thank you Jeff for that information.
Yesterday i did not get a chance to complete anything, i was very busy.
The car doesn't throw any codes or anything that is why i am so confused.
Am i able to rule anything out since there is no codes being shown?
also, could anyone provide a slightly more detailed information on where this bleeder valve is for the air/coolant?
Thank you.
