the check engine light came on and the temp gauge was pined to hot.I pulled over checked engine didnt feel hot or sound bad so drove slow 5 miles home.
At home I pulled the temp senser wire and the gauge droped to zero.Changed the temp senser and no change.Engine starts and sounds good.Good heat coming out of heater,no fluid lose,fans kick in after 10 minutes of ideling.
Any help would be great. Did I get ripped off?
