The turbo versions of the 2.0 liter engine use BCPR7ES gapped to 1.0-1.1mm, so maybe the parts counter guy got them mixed up? Not sure about your heat range question though.

If it was me, I would switch to the proper plugs, but that is because I don't know the implications of using the other ones and I'd rather be on the safe side ($20 amortized over the long lifespan of...

The WIS calls for NGK BCP5EV plugs gapped at 0.6mm.

Great to hear that it was the vacuum hose and not something worse.

For the temp sensor, it may just be acting normally and you are not running hot enough to warrant the fan after shut off. The...

The fan issue could be the resistor, yes. The fuse/relay block under the hood has separate relays for low speed and high speed. Pull each relay and jumper the left and right (as opposed to fore and...

On the convertible, there is a lock cylinder on the top of the left end of the seat. Use the ignition key on it to unlock the seat before trying to move it. I imagine this is so one can park the...

It seems that you have thrown a lot of parts at the car without a real diagnosis. It is not out of the question that some new parts may be bad out-of-the-box. Run some basic tests to get an idea of...

Pull fuses 4 and 32 from the fuse box at the end of the dash by the driver's door. Run a jumper lead from the top pin of fuse 4 to the bottom pin of fuse 32. This will directly power the fuel pump...

Have you checked the fuel pump? You should be able to hear it under the rear seats when first turning the key to "ON" -- lift up the rear seat cushions to make it easier to hear.

Check the tire pressures if you don't already; just because the tires are new doesn't mean they are inflated properly. Spark plugs could be involved, so you may want to pull them to inspect the gap...

All the parts are quite available and the work is DIYable. RockAuto has a good selection of all the bits (rotors, pads, hardware kits, handbrake shoes, etc.) and always has 5% off coupon codes...

Assuming manual transmission here (though it is pretty impressive to manage driving it in 4th). The earlier NG900s have problems with the gearshift linkage where a bushing on the transmission side...

If you have an automatic transmission, it could be the neutral safety switch going out. If it happens again, try starting in neutral or rowing the shifter through the range a couple times to see if...

The battery may be installed backwards or the contacts may be corroded. If the remote has an LED on it, does the LED light up when you press the button? Also try pressing the button a few more...

1. Yes, good idea to make sure you can fill it up again.
2. It's possible to do without raising the car if it's not lowered and once you know where everything is. Easier to raise the car though...

It is really just a vacuum hose, and replacements will be sold as such, typically by the foot. Silicone hoses are often used for greater durability.

The part to which it connects is the bypass...

It could be a loose connection somewhere. I used to have problems with a loose connection at the connector block near the motor (where the motor's spade connectors are converted to the harness'...

Couple of things to try:
1. Press the unlock button 5 times in a row to re-sync the fob with the car.
2. Does the LED light on the fob light up when pressing the button? If not, double-check...

It should be on the driver's side (battery side) on the side of the end tank. It is easier to pull the lower radiator hose though, imo (and faster to drain).

I haven't owned any convertibles, so I don't know what's wrong, but there are procedures for manually raising the roof in the owner's manual. Here are a couple for similar years in case you don't...

It's accessed from the bottom. Remove the plastic shields; the sensor is just forward of the cat.

The WIS (workshop information system) would have instructions for sure; the EPC would mostly just give you part numbers with possible cross references.

I had the same symptoms on my NG900 and...

The Motive bleeder will take out a lot of the hassle, so you're 80% of the way to success already. Somewhere around 10-15psi should work fine, and I think I used 2 quarts of fluid to bleed all 4...
