So last night, I was driving to go get my sister from work. It was kinda chilly out.. I live in Florida so what we think is chilly is quite warm to others.
My duratec decides now is a great time to light up the CEL.. first time I've EVER seen that light since I've owned this car. I panic of course and drive it back home because I thought I messed something up.
At first I thought I screwed up my MAF by self washing my car because I sprayed water at the grill of the car before starting it up and driving. I've driven in heavy rain and puddles and my intake has been just fine after all that.. so I ruled that out.
Today I went to get the trouble code read at Advance auto, it shows the Cooling Temperature Sensor was acting up. (I need to invest in a code reader) The reading was below operating temperature apparently. The coolant level is fine and the car hasn't over heated so I'm a bit lost..
I don't quite remember what the OBDII reader said but it was something like that. Still very weird..
