    You didnt pick it up off a guy on ebay did you is it a V8 Berlina?

    Number 1 thing that is wrong with these cars is they that many sensors, It could be anything it might only be a faulty cluster temp sensor??.

    Trust me good fast mods are everywhere here, Some mods don't cost a cent,
    Have a little look in here and around Throttle body 100% open HOW-TO,
    There is always someone with some cheap and pretty easy go fast tips.
    Hope i helped in some way for you and it's all good, the last thing you need is to worry when you only just got the car, I have been there it's not fun. I'm only now starting to enjoy my car more.
