Went dirt bike camping on the beloved E150.
Spark plugs and ignition coils replacement worked fine and no warning light on freeway.
Got off and climbed up twisties then all of a sudden engine overheats.
Turned around and went downhill. Water temp goes down.. phew
But it went back up again in a few miles so I pulled into the NAPA I saw before.
Called AAA for the tow truck. She says all the local repair shops and rental car places are closed.
I bought a thermostat and replaced it in the parking lot. It works.
I am safely home now.
That "service engine soon" warning light is back on. Could be blown head gasket?
I will buy the HF code reader tomorrow.
