i was driving home from work tonight and i looked backin the mirror and saw smoke and it was coming from me. Then the check engin light came on next. So i made it home and open the hood to see that i have coolant every where but couldn't see where it could have came from so i am going to looking in the morn. After i saw that i chech it with the flasher and it said code p0117*- eng coolant temp circut low input. i am woundering where that is and what is it? Thanks in adavance and need info asap thanks again.

pressurize your system and it'll show you where the leak is you'll need a radiator pressure tester pump it to 30 SPI and where your leak is water or air will come out good luck
 






Don't know much about scanning and reading codes but I'd check the thermostat first.
 












i was looking at it this morning and i found the leak. it is a hose behide the t-stat but i don't know if there is another leak but for now thats it. the only ? left is how to get to it and fix it without taking the intake manofold off or the black thing on the center of the motor.

well if one hose goes chances are nthe rest are not far behind, might be a good time to change them all.




good luck
