That would be bad advice to put in a larger fuse. The system circuit maxes at 7 amps so 7.5 is the fuse that should be used.The problem is probably the wiring harness.You will need to remove the rear seat

Not knowing how many cylinders your car has tells me you shouldn't be under the hood.By adding the sealant you just probably made a mess inside of the engine.Taking the thermostat out isn't a good idea

2009-11-19 idling issue:

Well it could be many things with the idle but I'm sure the idle control valve has something to do with it.Does the a/c work when it is turned on? it may not be turning causing it to draw the motor down

I think you need to have the battery checked first to make sure it is ready for the changing season.Checking all your wire connections to the battery/starter,the battery ground to make sure it is clean

I'm not sure which engine you have but the flat rate time(book time) is only about 4.6 hours.To me that means you probably have to lift the engine up to gain clearance enough to replace the gasket/pan
