ok so i had a coolant leak. it was from that little 2 inch hose that goes between the t-stat housing and the other housing on the other head. i tore everything apart replaced the hose and i think i got the coolant leak licked. i say think because i cant start it to pressurize the system. i have check engine codes 15 and 26. i didnt like the looks of the code 15 especially since it said bad pcm. i accidentally cranked the car when i had everything torn apart. the TPS MAF and all the coolant sensors disconnected. i have no spark. and everything is reconnected. i really home its not a bad pcm. any thoughts??

Been a while since I had a v6, what did you tear apart to fix the leak?

Disconnect the battery, drain the elec. from the system, Reconnect and check that the wires are all making contact.

i took off the throttle body and intake tube, the t-stat housing and the other housing. i disconnected almost all the connectors on the main harness but i followed them all the wat from the o2 sensors forward to the ABS module. there is nothing unplugged. everything is making good contact. i disconnected the battery for 10 mins and even after that im getting codes 15 and 26. is there any other way to clear the codes besides disconnecting the battery?

another bit of info. my car is chipped and someone told me that the code 15 might show up because of that. im wondering if the codes are false codes because of being chipped?

Chips will throw codes. Most no spark after the intake is off is due to bad ground or connection at the DIS module.
