    I checked the codes and got 1 flash (wait a few seconds) then 2 flashes, which from the codes means everything is fine, repeated a few times and still checked out as 12, so obviously there's no computer errors, Im thinking its a loose sensor that might have jiggled around a bit, this morning and all of today the car ran fine apart from a bit of jumping from the temp gauge.

    It will turn over and run for a few seconds and then spaz out for like a minute and then die, but the other time it happened i was driving for like 15 minutes and then it started chucking a spaz for a minute and went back to normal.
