    coolant light ?

    sounds like you just need to figure out why your coolant thingy isn't floating....it has nothing to do with the proper mixture and has nothing to do with the computer....if it's sticking and not floating you will trip the light.....I would just drain some coolant and try and stick your fingers...

    leaking intake manifold

    I would say that you have a leak on the area where the intake meets the head.....so something wasn't sealing right..how long did this happen after your intake was replaced?? what did they replace it with? a NPI intake? or PI? I had this same problem when I swapped to the PI....had to redo...

    Coolant Leak, Need Help
