Think you so much for all your help and your post.

I have a 1999 Dodge Neon and also had this right turn problem resulting in engine stalling.
The engine harness runs along the engine and vibration could have caused an open circuit.
Check the wire from the coil going into the engine harness. You will have to remove the wiring harness dressing tape and follow it (the coil wire) to where it connects in the engine harness. Resolder the wire and that should fix the error 42 problem.
The temperature gauge problem could be a corroded temp sensor connection or possibly be traced to the coil connection in the harness. You need to check the coil connection first then if the temp gauge still isn't working after resoldering the coil wire, clean the temp sensor connection and test again. Post on here the results after doing these things.
Good luck.
