Be sure you did blow a head gasket!!. Check for antifreeze loss, or white milky stuff in the oil. Look under the oil fill cap and radiator cap for white greyish goo. That will be a blown gasket from over heating.

To reset the engine light, there should be a toggle switch located somewhere under the dash, just switch it to the other side and your done. it is a very tiny switch, so you may need to look pretty hard for it.

2001 montero sport xls sport horn on my alarm how do i stop it i pulled the fuse but it is still goint

You need to determine if it's the horn or the alarm. My Montero (not Sport) had 3 horns. All 3 of which go off w/ the Alarm, but only one is connected to the horn on the steering wheel. I could not make mine go off w/o pulling the relay under the hood.

My spring was bad in the steering wheel. I was able to bypass the wire using instructions that I actually found on a Mitsubishi Forum. Link below:

I have a 2001 Mitsubishi montero sport xls model. My check engine light is on and I have a code number of P0715...does anyone know what that code means?

The code indicates the Input Turbine shaft speed sensor is giving an erratic signal or there may be a mechanical transmission issue. I would go with a new sensor. Try rockauto.com to purchase a new sensor, much cheaper than the dealer. Also see sketch of location of the sensor on the tranny.
