Is the SES light comming on yet? It sounds like the ECT(engine coolant temp) sensor, with engine cold read the ohms across the sensor, then read again when warm, cold it should read over 10,000 Hot it should read 177. If the SES is on go to Autozone and get the codes read, they do it free, post the codes here.
