There just seems to be allot of power draw when I connect the battery and the lady I got the car from said she's always had trouble keeping the battery charged and having to replace it every two or three years. So I'd like to get all these things sorted out.

Also, on that coolant recirc. pump, how long should it run after key is turned off? After turning the key off earlier the recirc pump continued to run for several min. 'till I disconnected the battery. The car had not been running so the coolant was still cold.
I see now that I'm going to have to invest in a good code reader so I can retrieve the codes as well as reset the system.
