sorry folks for wasting this threat. i have found the issued. i had took out a couple of sensor plugs. went back to pull everything out and found one of the sensor wire under the thermostat housing wasn't plug in all the way. pushed that in until it lock. restart the car and no more flashing D light or check engine light. one again i apologize for wasting a threat.

No worries it may help someone out! these cars are so full of sensors and connections it only takes one to ruin your whole day! Good job tracking it down, it is usually always something like that that gets missed on the reinstall
