Winter is making my car act gay!

Ok, so today I go to start my car and I get the "low coolant" light, it only does this when I park in a certain spot in my driveway, and if I shut the car off goes away almost instantly. Also this morning, I was sitting in someones drive way for about 5-10 minutes and my temperture gauge goes to something around 3/4 on the gauge but I do not get heat at all, so I thinking maybe that I might have air in my system?

 

 

Also, I'm getting a SES light for my EGR I have replaced all gaskets for the EGR and now lately when I get the light and I go to shift it seems to hold the RPM's and went let the revs fall down as fast, any ideas?

 

 

 

In short winter fucks with ur car.

idle re-learn? 10 15 mins battery disconected it resets the codes

 

there is a screw on your thermostat housing to bleed the air off

 

if you still get the low collant you have a leak!

 

good luck

Thermostat is new and the heater core, couldn't be bad cuz after I put a load on the car the temp gauge went back down. But I'm thinking maybe air in the system. But the holding the idle during the shifts is only on with the SES light, for the EGR code.

make sure the thermo is in the right way. When i changed mine, i put it in wrong cuz there are no markings on it, and the car cooled when driving, got hot when not, and didnt blow hot air. Check the bleeder vents and make sure coolant comes out. If no coolant nothing is flowing. turn the tstat. if coolant then you have just bleed your system.

I'm thinking maybe I'm just low on coolant or something but who knows. But with the computer thing wouldn't it make the car run wierd wouldn't not just do it once?
