Good advice. Buy a few cans and do the condenser on your home's AC unit while you're at it. Hardware stores and HVAC suppliers should have it.

It's just oven cleaner. Sodium Hydroxide (lye), Pickup some at home depot or something. A 30% mixture with water in a garden sprayer should work. Otherwise I don't see why oven cleaner wouldn't work as well.

Not all coil cleaners are lye based. Also, lye can remove vehicle paint, so be careful if you go with a lye-based cleaner.

True. SODIUM METASILICATE which was in Bleche Wite works as well. Any wheel degreaser should work. It just needs to degrease. Or rather dissolve road tar and rubber.

Looks like the code was something about Cylinder #2, maybe i moved the harness on it, however she's running fine and super smooth idle considering the fact that i just put the battery back. Leaved the vehicle overnight with the negative cable removed from battery and until today to more CEL!!! still have the freaking 2 stabilytrak lights on along with ABS :confused: Thanks again to everybody that helped!!
