If it was only barely below freezing it would take quite a while to actually freeze and if there’s any actual antifreeze it would take more than that.
Keep us updated
Agree.
FWIW: Inexpensive method to check freeze/boiling point of coolant. If the coolant is contaminated with other fluids, I'd doubt validity of test.

but at the same time, there's video of the car running just fine 1/10 of a mile before OP got it. Could just be terrible timing for a failure but hard to say until OP gets to the root cause.Not placing blame on either party but knowing how much that was listed for, don't know what you paid, I would be furious to say the least. Hope you get your issue resolved.

Make sure the two plugs on the firewall are fully seated. IIRC they're not really connected until the bolts are tightened all the way.
I think I still have a spare intercooler if you want it. Though now would be the time for an upgrade if it's in the budget.
I agree 100% and def not saying the seller is the cause. Could very well be poor luck. I just sympathize with the situation is all. After spending that kind of money.but at the same time, there's video of the car running just fine 1/10 of a mile before OP got it.

Let me make sure I can locate it first. My garage has been a little disorganized lately with all the projects going on.Can you text me about Intercooler 7134306209

So now my problem is the odometer is just " ---------" (dashes).
I did pull the 20A mini fuse by the battery to cut the fuel pumps and unplugged the (2) main harness connections on the passenger side firewall. I don't recall the order but i may have plugged those in while the battery was connected. Anyways, the car will crank but thats it. The OBD connector wont let my SCT or scan gauge access the PCM. I dont hear the fans, pumps, nothing.
I checked fuses. The battery all good. I know there is a CCRM but its not buzzing etc. I removed this old ass Audiovox alarm (connected with T-Taps, etc). Thats gone. Maybe thats the problem? Honestly the only thing I did was reconnect the red/blue stripe wire back together.
Now what. I have disconnected the battery for hours, to allow the PCM to reset but no dice.
------- on the odo, along with no fans or pumps, is the ccrm/pcm ground connection under/near the battery. it is very easy do not fully connect the two halves. but, the ccrm should be buzzing/clicking or making some noise.
My car was popping CCRM fuses because the noise suppressor on the backside of the head are live power and were shorting out against the head. Was popping the fuse instantly with key on. Check to make sure they are plugged in and not touching metal.
Definitely check the connections, make sure no pins are bent or anything. Make sure the 10mm bolt in the connection is tight too.
Sorry for the bad luck. At least your familiar with the car now.
