Could you please tell me what has happen to my Sunfire. I just noticed that when I put the key in the ignition and start the engine, the engine cooling fan comes on immediately and stays on, even when the engine is cold. Also, the Engine Check light comes on and stays on. Could you please give a solution. I have also noticed that the coolant in the reservoir bottle flows over when I open the cover while the engine is running. This has never happen before. Do you have an answer. Thanks a lot.

The cooling fans are probably on because the computer thinks there is a problem.

That's why the check engine light is on.
