once a week or so the ses light comes on the goes off. it will be a little rough at idle before it comes on. when i look over the car it runs perfect. in the last 2 years Ive change out or rebuilt the fuel system,all but the coils in the ignition system, good on regular maintenance. blow the upper rad. hose and lost coolant and was told the temperature light didn't come on. cant find any spec to check any of the sensors on the motor with a meter.

You could have a bad coolant temp sensor that can set a code 45.
