An idea is to check any wiring going behind the engine. If you have wires laying against that area, there is a really good possibility that there is a burnt wire or two. It happened on my Startus and I replaced everything you did, only to take it to a garage and they spliced them together...7 cent splices, $89 an hour...$234 later....I had my car back.....but same symptoms as yours.

It could be the switch, or the regulator. You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

Like when you say it over heats how hot are you talking? And the next cheapest item to do is if you think it is the Thermostat, change it. Are you loosing antifreeze or have you had to add any?

No.

dear friend-the fact that your car did not switch of for 10 sec means that the fuel did not cut when the ignition was switched of.i think you must have it checked.

check the oil stick if their is a milky like substance on it if so the the block could be cracked. i hope not. The mechanic should've notice this if thats the problem. do check plug also. H.I.W.H

check the vacumn pipes that run to to advance unit near the ignition module

This could be a lot of things. The 'check engine' light is only an indication that somethign is wrong. this usually only means that a sensor that determines how the car will rn is broken, wore out, or lost connection. I would take it by a shop.
what they will do is plug your car into a computer ( that costs thousands) and the computer will give them a code that will give hints to what happened and what needs attention.
if the light is only on sometimes then it's just a connection but on all the tiem you need a new sensor somewhere. hope this helps

The switch that controls this is attached to your brake pedal itself. You'll have to lay on the floor, looking up under your dash and you'll see a couple of wires attached to the switch that is attached to the pedal. Spray some WD40 all around that switch, pump the pedal a few times and all should be well.
