Hi,
First off I'm driving a 1996 Mark VIII Se. Now I'm getting error #p0125, which reads "Insufficient Coolant Temp to Enter Closed Loop Fuel Control". I'm told this is due to a bad o2 sensor. I'm having some other problems too that may or may not be related, I'll just list them all :
1. There has been a pully near the engine belt that has been screeching out of control...when oil is applied the screeching goes away. Sometimes it doesnt screech at all and will often stop after 15 miles of driving.
2. around the belt itself, coolant has began to slowly leak...and the belt sends it flying everywhere so its hard to tell where the leak is actually from. This leak does not happen all the time though, just sometimes.
3. During acceleration there is a clicking under the hood that goes with the speed of the accelartion
4. Because of my leak i've been filling up the coolant resevoir with water each morning. I forgot to put the coolant cap back on and drove the car. It overheated after 5 miles.
5. After my first overheat, i drove the car back home. There was no check engine light. I attempted to drive again and it got hot 5 miles down the road and this is when the p0125 light came on. The light is on now and it isn't going away.
So can anyone help me out based on what I've said? What can I do to fix these irritating problems. Should I drive a car that has the p0125 error at all? I need to get it home. Thanks for your help.
On a side note....someone stuffed a rag in my exhaust pipe last night. Is that supposed to do some damage or what? They only put a rag in one pipe, and I saw it before starting the car.
