97 Lincoln Continental was showing on the display it was too hot and said service engine,no sign that it was overheating and within 2-3 minutes it would go cool and the engine warning would go away, then within 2 weeks it started to turn itself off and shortly the belt broke. well I had a neiborhood mechanic look at it was the thermastat so it was changed with the belt.on his diagnostic it said nothing else was wrong with it. It was ok for a few days,within a week the display started to read hot and engine warning came back. Again no physical signs that the car was overheating. My boyfriend said it needed oil so I went to discount auto and they said the oil was full and anymore would do damage, but the coolant was empty and he said the belt was the wrong size and lose. The next day it started making a tick noise getting louder and turning off when too long ie a red light. Going fast it's very faint. If you start it without driving it's fine the problem is when you drive it.
