I can't help you with the rough engine. Maybe someone else can.

The coolant light is one of many tiny little engineering things with the Cougar1 ('99-'00), though this problem might also affect the Cougar2 ('01-'02) but I don't know if that was changed, which don't work right on all units. The problem is a faulty sensor that throws out a low level warning before the coolant drops below the MAX line, let alone the MIN line. You can safely top the reservoir off to about an inch over the MAX line without risking a spill as the reservoir fills due to coolant expansion.

Why 1994 Legend RPM keep jumping up and down when at park only Could it be Idle control sensor?

Check the Coolant system, there is a coolant temp sensor that will cause the engine to do this if it is not actually in contact with the coolant. You will need to vacuum drain the coolant, refill then bleed all the air out of the system. On my legend this happened until realized the radiator cap was bad, it had lost it's seal so the coolant system lost pressure. I didn't realize because the coolant reservoir was full, but there was no pressure to pull the coolant through the system. It could possibly be the idle speed motor needing to be cleaned as well. Once I cleaned mine I haven't had any problems ever since.


What does the coolant temp sensor control?

coolant temp sensor,does just what it says,it relays your coolant temp to gauges!


In a 1998 Subaru outback the heater blower works but no warm air?

In Subarus the temp control for the heater does not control the coolant flow, just airflow past the heater core. If you get no heat, there is no coolant in the heater core -- either there is no coolant or it is not circulating.


Renault scenic heater blows cold air only even with a new thermostat?

Low coolant? Heater core restricted or plugged? Heater core airbound? Water pump not circulating coolant? Heater control cable not adjusted properly? With mine it was Heater matrix clogged with radiator sealant. The workshop cleaned it and it's start working fine!


Does the coolant temperature sensor control the electric fan?

Yes


What will cause the heater to blow out cold air?

bad heater core, heater hose blockage, low coolant, bad heater valve, bad control head. With my car, it was Heater matrix clogged with radiator sealant. The workshop cleaned it and it's start working fine!


Does a cylinder head temperature sensor in a ford focus control the fan or does the coolant temperature sensor control it?

A coolant system temperature sensor controls it. : CHILTON calls it the cylinder head temperature sensor. Some after market manufacturers call it the coolant temperature sensor. These are equivalent.
