change your oil asap. and check your coolant level, you may need to have your radiator flushed and filled, but just having an oil change could take care of your problem. hope this helped : )
my 2001 ford windstar is still overheating even though i changed out the thermostat. what could it be?
2001 Pontiac Montana?
Check your owner's manual. The symptoms you describe sound like those that indicate that the "Fail Safe Cooling System" is being activated by high engine temp. Check your coolant level AND make sure the water pump hasn't failed.
That's a really good question Mine is doing that too. It's also overheating. Maybe we could collaborate for answers?
The light is the low coolant light. It is NOT an overheating light it just means your coolant level is low
Bulb is blown or has been removed.
Can be the level is low or the sensor is going back.
Check that you have the traction control button turned on.
For a 2001 Ford Explorer : No , there is an engine temperature gauge Also , there is a " CHECK GAGE " light ( the light will come on if the engine coolant temperature is too high , the engine oil pressure is too low , or the fuel gauge indicates it is at or near empty )
Pop out the light with a screw driver and check if the aerial is loose and letting water in.
i have a 2001 acura cl 3.2 and the code p1709 keeps coming up and the drive light flashes. how do i fix this
I am having the same issue AFTER replacing the torque converter and switch in the transmission. My check engine light was coming on with the transaxle light and the code read to replace these items BUT the transaxle light is still coming on. I am still trying to get an answer on this!
