I was driving on the parkway tonight when the heat turned cold. After getting off the parkway, at the next traffic light, the car stalled but then started back up. The service engine soon light is still on. The car the got somewhat hot...about 200-210, until I turned on the vent so the fans would come on. Any comments on what it could be??

Thanks for your time

If your car is stock, then that temp. between 200-210 is normal. These cars were made to run a little warm for emission purposes. As far as the SES light, that is directly related to you EGR I believe.

 

Just put electrical tape over the lens or pull the bulb LOL, seriously your description is pretty vague, egr should never kill the motor, but most lights are from the touchy emissions junk. Check the usual inspection items, coolant, eng and trans fluid, pcv valve, smog pump for freedom of rotation, air filter, and check thermostat for physical operation. Did it backfire or anyother crazy stuff like that?? What do you have v6/v8, tbi/tpi/carb, man/auto?? Right now it's really tough to suggest anything.
