But then again I new to the car so it could be a moving only thing.

is there any fluid in the reservoir?

I still agree with the IC sprayer being useless but as long as the water is evaporating it should be removing some heat. If it isn't it is just insulating the hot IC.

I wonder if someone could make money off offering retrofit kits for newer USDM Evos.

I've never seen the dash light on my '03 be anything but on, and that with a green icon so dim I have to take my sunglasses off to see it. Also, my IC sprayer works with the car stationary in manual mode.
