I'm not a mechanic / technician but by any chance are you out of gas
The CHECK " GAGE " light on my Ford Explorer would come on if the engine
coolant temperature is too HIGH , the engine oil pressure is too LOW , or the
gas gauge is at or near empty
when the engine is hot the check engine light came on and the fan(is ok) don't start
The chech engine light is located in gauge cluster, bottom center. You sould see it flashing a amber light when you turn the key on but not in the start position. If not on the balb might be bad.
First check fuel pressure with a gauge. There is a valve on fuel rail. If check engine light is on have codes read since engine is managed by many sensors. Start there.
The gauge should be showing a minimum 195 with engine warmed up. I would start with replacing the thermostat.
Simply turn on the ignition but do not attempt to start the engine. If the light bulb is good you will see the Check Engine light illuminate and stay on. If you do not see the Check Engine light, the bulb is defective or has been removed.
The computer doesn't allow to start the engine. Check the error code.
If the light stays on after start up- you need to check your oil.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
Check engine light, low power, no start, runs rough, bent valves,Check engine light, low power, no start, runs rough, bent valves,

Use a gauge and start with 1/2 can - then run engine with AC on high for 3 minutes and then check gauge
