Also you could try the paper clip method and the car will tell you why the light is going off, provided you still have a functioning conputer.

over heating

it tends to run at about 220.........if im in stand still traffic it might go up to like 230............also i filled up the coolant tank with 100% coolant.........i have diluted it since....but could that have done any permanent damage? what is the paper clip method? and is there a way to tell if my computer is still functioning?
