Been super busy and hadn't had much time to get back to this but after 3 purchases I was able to get a working obdII reader. Seems to read around 225 when normal.
Now here is a different thing its done, one day I was traveling to a buddys house like a hour from me and its in the hills and mostly 1 lane with a few passing lanes so after a very long run behind a van a passing lane opens and I hit the passing gear to pass and I just had the fan on no a/c and all of a sudden I smelt coolant and not for sure on this but think I saw steam maybe from front of grill but doesn't seem like likely. I got around the van and slowed back down and the smell went away. I got to my friends and he has a mechanic shop next to him and talked to that guy and looked it over for me and could nothing, no leaks nothing...wtf is going here!!
Made it home and everything just fine but a few weeks later I did the passing gear again and the needle spiked to little over 3/4 way to H, had one other episode like that and have not hit the passing gear since, scared of whats going.
I picked up a pressure tester and it seems to hold fine at 16lbs. Tried a new radiator cap, new thermostat with no changes. It has cooled off a lot here so cant comment if that's still a issue as well.
