Oil cooler had a crack, replaced it. Did an oil change. The car is sputtering, temperature and oil lights are on. Afraid to drive it.

Hello,

I sounds like you disconnect a ground wire when you were doing the repair. can you please use a flashlight and check all engine grounds? Also, see if you bummed a wiring connector off somewhere and we should run the codes. Here is a guide to help us get started:
