you have to BLEED the system.

theres prolly air in the cooling system keeping water from circulating properly so fill the overflow to its neck with distilled water then start the motor with the coolant cap OPEN (make sure to do this with a COLD motor) and the heater settings to max hot and high (this opens the thermostat).

let it idle for ~10mins adding water as the level decreases.

here are the two codes, search on the solutions.

21Main O2S & Heater Signal
24 IAT Sensor Signal

down boy.....


find the tests online for using a multimeter on both the IAT sensor (located on/near MAF) and the O2 sensors.
