When I went home tonite the same thing , the computer showed low coolant and then coolant temp .Is this just just a stuck thermostat? and if so where is it, and how do I find it and replace it? a part#would be great or any other thoughts this is my only trasport so I need to fix it quick.I live in vancouver canada so where i get parts would be a great help (always a problem ) thanks in advance to everyone for any help or advice
