Service Engine Soon Light is always on but it has never been an issue as far as we know.
In the last 4-5 days since we had the cold snap down here in FL with nights around 30, the engine temp gage goes to HIGH and then beyond into the red area within 5 min of driving.
Hood never gets hot, the engine light with the little smoke never goes on.
Oil light had come on, I put a quart in. So oil seems to be ok now.
No transmission problems, autotrans and shifts fine, RPMs all seem to be fine when driving.
No smell associated, I try to run the heater to take some heat off the engine but that only seems to drive the temp gage up more.
I admit I know jack about cars, could it be the coolant? Or water for the radiator? I really dont know where to start.
I commute 45 min each way daily at high speed and am concerned about the engine failing.
Thanks!
