1,000 mile trip and stuff messes up now?
1,000 miles isnt much, Dallas to Corpus Christie(and houston, san an+austin some how ended up on the trip) this last weekend and only 3.... issues came up.
Part 1: first head light problem I've ever had. the light comes up just like normal but now it sounds as if the motor is still going for a good 10 seconds after the lights are up and its on the passangers side. Along with this all the lights are on, brights+fog at same time which never happens for me until now, but the brights are not on with full power just very dim, if I flash them on they go on, turn them off they are fully off.
Part 2: I got my oil changed last min and they told me my coolant was low, which i had just gotten the light for it which made sense. so they filled it up no biggy. when I was at about 100 or so miles away from being back home the light comes back on after being fine all weekend....so? lost here 2
Part 3: when im going about 50 speeding up to around 60-65ish idk if im going crazy or what but i think i hear air being either pushed in with more force then i remember a week ago which was..none or air is being pushed out. kinda sounds like an air compressor letting out some air with it being 10 ft away. last time i had this problem years ago on a firebird was the cata being all f'd up and the manifold being cracked........................................... .on a side note after 70 no issues, and from 70-140 everythings fine till i see red and blue lights

Q 1: http://www.rodneydickman.com/n113.html replace your head light gear
Q 2: Coolant sensor crapped out, very common problem. It is located just in front of the drivers side exhaust manifold. If you change it be prepare for some coolant loss.
Q 3: Not sure what yo are asking here. Air noise like road noise or air noise from engine bay? I had a flutter from my exhaust that no one else could hear. Turned out it was from a crack on my ORY. Weld it up and no longer having issues

have you had any work done on it lately? Torque Specs are in INCH LBS not FOOT LBS. It is a bitch to torque it down properly. I've read on here that you could take carb cleaner and while the engine is running at idle spray a short burst around the intake where it meets the heads. Listen for a surge. If it surges you have a possible leak.
Another possibility - do you have a SLP airlid? If so they have been know to drawl more air then stock. I had to get 1/2" weather stripping to help seal the lid up tight so that it would drawl air from the sides without going through the filter. Also check your ducking for between your lid and throttle body. Could have a crack.

Part 2: Sounds like you have a coolant leak. A slow coolant leak. Get it checked out and fixed

+2 on the slow coolant leak for the that light coming on. Possible water pump, if it is it's not really a bad job to do, just looks like it at first.

#2 sounds like your coolant level sensor, its on your radiator just below the fill cap. When they go they set the light even if your coolant is full, sometimes you can take it out and clean it, I did that a few times and eventually just unplugged it.
