Changed coil now big problems!

Hey guys, just changed my coil today and now i'm having quite a problem. It's overheating, check engine light is on, and it's not good. I might've broken a vacuum line but i need to further inspect this, i'll keep this posted up.

What are the codes. Sounds like you may have messed up something. Check and see if the wire for the fan switch (backside of the passenger head) is in place. I know that I was messing around that area and messed up the connection.

I'll have to check it tommorow, I just worked six hours after school of getting yelled at by people who are not my boss, so it's not a good idea to work on the furbird tonight.. I'll check that out though, it would explain the 125 Celcius temp.

Ok, fan works. Car hit 125* Celcius today. I fixed some broken vacuum lines, had to buy a new T-fitting, some brand new tubing, and a headache of remembering where it all went. But it got back together, test drive is tomorrow. Thanks, KP
