Failed coilpack... replaced it and She is running great and knock on wood no overheating. I still have the p0597 code but I read somewhere that if u use a generic code reader it can sometimes give faulty errors when nothing is wrong.. I pushed the car hard and still had no overheating issue. I think I know how I did it. I recently installed sprint booster and the last time, before the coilpack failed, I accidently redlined it for few seconds. I am sure that caused the coilpack to fail.

Good to hear she's back in action.
Was it an expensive fix? And how do you like the sprint booster?

I had an issue once with mine, went to the carwash, and they sprayed underneath the car, the oxygen sensors got wet, I turned off the car since they were going to clean up the interior and once they were done I turn on the car, but I the engine was acting like it was possessed jajjaja, I push it out of the carwash and waited for the car to dry and stabilize the temperature, after 1 hour the car started fine.
