Re: code 128

Check coolant level, then check the thermostat outlet housing with an infra red thermometer after driving for 20 minutes or so. Should be 195 degrees. If not, the thermostat needs to be replaced.

Re: code 128

Thanks found it and replaced it and also found my noise. the guy I bought it from sprayed the belt and pullys with either lithium grease or belt dressing to find out what was making the noise and I checked all the pullys and it turned out to be the belt after pulling the tension pully off several times I finally went and got a new belt...Live and learn anyway thanks for your help

Re: code 128

The only "fix" for a noisy serpentine belt is make sure the pulleys are lined up perfectly with each other and replace the belt. Did your P0128 go away?
