ok i am pretty much stumped and i dont want to pay to have my car scanned but here it goes.....
I had my clutch changed by a professional (due to warentee work) then i was so happy i had my car back with a brand new clutch and fly wheel, i drove it to the point of the 3000 mile limit on my oil change..... so i take it to my local jiffy lube to get it changed(i got the first oild change free when i bought the car) and i drove it easy for about 500 miles and now my check engine light is on i had to take the undercarriage skit plate off because of damage and it was hanging down so i took it completely off so it wasnt hanging down then we had a very hot day and the check engine light comes on. so i drive it a little bit and wen i get up to speed on the high way i noticed my outside temp started dropping from 104 to 103 to 102 etc etc down to 89 and then i stopped to get a drink and i came out and turned the car on and the light wasnt on anymore so then yesterday it did the same thing i came out from work and turned the car on and the light was there so i started driving it and i went to a friends custom shop and shut it down then when i left i turned the car on and no light and this is confussing the crap out of me some one help

 

No one here is going to know why you have a CEL. You will at the very least have get it scanned or buy a cheapie $50 OBD II scanner. You could also ask around here if anyone is local and has vagcom or a scanner.

 

ok i will do that this weekend these 14 hour days are killin me lol

 

aah man!! That's gotta blow!

Let us know the codes when you do...I as several others on here have Bently CD manuals.

 

ok man will do i think i found someone to let me use his high dollar scanner but if that falls threw i will break down and buy the cheap one lol

 

Stop at Autozone or something and they will scan it for free if the lights on with their OBDII.

 

Nah i bought a scanner i scanned it and i came up with a P1296 which is a engine coolant system malfunction so i am thinking loose wire on the temp sensor

 

Don't discount the sensor itself

 

what color is the sensor

 

P1296 means coolant temp sensor or failed thermostat, the sensor would normally be green but I believe some have updated them to the blue type.
if the thermostat has failed you wont get any hot air into the cabin and the danger of that is a blown cylinder head in the making so sort it asap.
if its the sensor you could do a resistance test and check if the wires are on tight and not corroded which would give a failed reading
