    So per my previous posts about the hybrid battery as luck would have it the car cranked and charged the hybrid battery. Now as luck would have it I'm getting
    P0117
    P0116
    Any takers I'm open for suggestions
    Also is not circulating heat in the car
    Faulty water pump
    Temp sensor as stated by code and if so location?

    I'm leaning on thermostat as the upper and lower hose are pressurized and hot

    If you’re reading 216, that’s too hot:cool:.

    I’d say the thermostat is toast as temps should be around 190-195;).

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).

    Problem Is I changed the engine with one that was pulled from a junkyard it's been years since it ran. Plus I had lost of coolant in the CVT but I know it's full as the reservoir and inverter is circulating with no air.
    My concern is since the upper and lower hoses are hot and pressurized the cars thermostat is locked shut and not opening.
    I replaced the inverter pump its circulating water but after that drive the water on that side was ice cold.
    Could this be air in the system issue? I doubt it considering houses where stuff and tight.
    So basically I'm afraid I'll be pulling the thermostat first considering I'm getting no cabin heat at all.

    Can you put the thermostat from the old engine in?
    Plus you didn’t post how you fixed your problem in the other post. Please do that as others might find it useful.
