ahhhh help. as i was driving home yesterday the power train light kept coming on and then going off...what does this mean

also my car keeps over heating when standing still but noe when its driving




help me please

it sounds like ya cooling fans arnt coming on, no air going thru radiator unless the cars moving. and the light would be coming on cause its overheating or fans arnt working correctly. check ya fuse's and relays , and run the car with bonnet open and wait a few min's to see if the fans are swithching on and off. they should come on befor it hit's half way on temp guage. there's a self diognosis thing ya can do if ya know how to, and computer will tell ya whats wrong. wouldnt keep driving it thou you'll end up stuffing something and be up for heaps

Water Pump. Check your thermostat. Dont risk driving or you could warp your head
