    FAILED EMISSIONS! Have a few questions...

    No they dont hook up anything to your tailpipe. They just smell the air from the exhaust to see if it will pass. COME ON!!!! You cant even cheat the test by using another car for the exhaust to pass. You need to read the web site again. Those are the things ADDED to the original...

    overheating only while parked

    A thermostat will have zero effect on weather you overheat while stopped. 160, 180, dont matter. Its the fan that keeps the motor cool . Make sure the fan is kicking on.
