Driving on freeway once hit 50 mph temp guage shot up to red zone. would sit for a awhile but once again less than a mile down the road it started to overgeat.
What motor do you have? check all the hoses see to see if any are leaking and see if the coolant level is full. may have a stuck thermostat
turns out the belt tensioner snapped off. so that was replace along with the serpetine belt. now the engine light stays on? hoping its not a major repair ahead of me. suggestions?
any parts store will scan it for free,and I need the codes that are coming up
code is P1299 we add coolant. the guy said the engine should reset after driving 50 miles. i havent really driiven the car due to the engine light b on. the temp guage will go right into middle of the guage. the clerk said that should not be happening due to the cool weather we are having. i drove on the freeway and the temp guage did not move. hoowever i was scared it overheat again. so i may only driven 3 miles on the highway. thoughts?

I had a Mazda 626 with a similar problem, the car seemed to 'shut down' with no warning, even at highway speeds, as if I just turned the ignition key to 'Off'; After trying to fix it unsuccessfully by replacing several electrical parts, the problem was found to be a defective ignition switch, it was replaced and the problem went away.
