That is such bull crap.

I just looked at your previous posts about this problem and saw where others have chimed in trying to help you. You may not have solved your problem, and the idea's people have chimed in with to try and help may not be working, but don't say you "got no help."

Noted.

I truly thought you were bashing the forum.

It's all good. I hope someone can chime in and offer you more help.

Once you let it sit and it restarts how long can you drive it before it does it again?

Have you tried disconnecting the negative terminal on you battery for 30 min. or so to reset the computer? I know that sounds silly, but it could be like Microsoft Windows that needs to be rebooted.

BIG ATS,
Please clarify....you say "its not overheating", but then say "the temp guage will go back to normal".

Does the temperature guage show an overheat condition when this happens?

You have replaced a number of parts, but the issue still seems to be an overheat condition. The code shown is then a result of the overheated head.

This could be a tough one to find since you indicate it clears almost magically with a short period of cooldown.

Some foreign matter in that particular head that intermittently blocks some passages is a possibility.

It would be interesting to see what an infrared temp reading on each head is when this happens. If one is overheated and the other not, then a blockage would be a definite possibility.

If all other parts are working as designed (thermostat/pump/radiator), then it almost would have to be a blockage problem.

A back flush through the engine without the radiator and heater(s) connected could tell the story.

This doesn't sound like it's going to be an easy one.

Good luck.
