My car was showing temperature to be 120 and the fan was on high. I stopped the car and engine didn't feel that hot. When I tried to restart the car it would only crank and fan started at high speed for about a minute. Temperature hasn't changed in three days of no use and car still only cranks and fan comes on still. Thanks

Hello,

With the key on without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for five seconds? Also, we should run the codes. here are two guides to help us get started:

and

Please run down these guides and report back.
