QUESTION: Temperature light.. And it was Red, Thanks Again, Matt

Answer
Hi Matt, the engine coollant temperature sensor (ECT) is located at the back of the engine, if yours is a 1.8 then it is at the back of the cylinder head, on the 2.7V6 it is in the coolant pipe behind the right cylinder head.  I would check that sensor.  Let me know,  Jan
