My low coolant level light comes on after my car has been running a while. When I check the coolant level, it is full. The light will sometimes go off after my car has been sitting a while. It will also intermittently go off as I am driving. My car temp gauge doesn't show the car overheating. The engine does feel hot when I look under the hood. Don't know if it is any hotter than normal operation. My car temp gauge will run hot if I have the A/C on and am driving up mountains. I will turn on the heater to cool off engine. What could be the problem?

for the runnign warm i would check the ignitoin timing could be a little off causing it to get warm and ping going up hills, try premium gas.

with the level sensor, soudns like it is bad and needs replacement.
