[Shotimes] SHO back from the dealership, they found lots of problems, yikes!

I would get a new one. The plastic end tanks on these puppies leak.
www.radiator.com has them as well as Autozone.

I'm in Baton Rouge Louisiana.
I was curious about getting a wrecked SHO's radiator to replace it with,
or any info if the radiator is the same as the ones used on the regular
Taurus/sable?  Otherwise I'll be buying a new one.  I think I can put it
in myself but I just have to find a new one first!

I have a large set of craftsman tools and some air tools that ive
recently purchased and been using for minor repairs on the car.  I enjoy
learning how to fix it myself.

Where do you live? If you are anywhere near me, I'd be
happy to help you swap out the radiator as its an easy
job. The endlinks are pretty easy as well. The engine
light signifies that there is a trouble code stored in
your car's computer. This code may tell us why the
idle is high. Replacing a PS pump is not easy but its
possible that a line is leaking and not the pump
itself. If you have any tools, I'm sure we can walk
you through the radiator and endlink procedures. there
is a procedure for pulling codes from the computer on
shotimes but you can also get a digital code scanner
for less than $30 or so.

good luck
Ian
