Hi
I just replaced the radiator on the car-bottom supply tube rotted out-my daughter has car about 60 miles away and on the trip up she said it ran fine/smooth-however the CEL came on-had trouble previously with the speed sensor circut, and has never been fixed-by changing the radiator would that have anything to do with the CEL comming on?

The first thing you need to do is have the car scanned for codes.Let me know what the exact code numbers you have not code descriptions.
