Gonna need to get those 2 oem heater hose clamps that go into the heater core on the firewall. Gf was out all day and the temp gauge didn't go past 160.

What do those have to do with the engine temp?

The system isn't pressurizing, so it won't allow it to get up to temp. I had mentioned this past weekend while pulling the plugs, I guess I must've put some pressure on the one line because a few drops of coolant dropped on the coil directly under it. I pushed the connection in, hoping that would've fixed it. It didn't.

So it’s leaking? Because if it isn’t pressurizing then it would be blowing out there, releasing the pressure wouldn’t it? I know when I cracked one of those, coolant was blowing out of it as soon as I started the engine.

Idk, it leaked that little bit initially, but then nothing else. Nothing else has given me trouble. What else could it be? Pressurized fine before that happened.
Could the thermostat be stuck open? Was heat the working?
Yup, heat worked great, no issue there.

Check the temp sensor. If your heat is working fine, its circulating
