Maybe I live life dangerously but a little taste will always tell you if it's coolant or not. It tastes sweet and a little metalic.

Hell yea, that's what I do. Coolant actually tastes good in small amounts.

Did the 2-wire thing and it cleared itself. I got a solid CEL. Did what John said and tried to "coax" it into another CEL again just by letting it idle for a few minutes and nothing. I'll try again tomorrow.

I can "coax" your car to throw a CEL very easily >:D
