Check coolant level, then maybe its the thermostat stuck.

Wow man. I'm sure you were hoping 2008 is over and no more problem for you. But no you still have other problem in 2009. I guess all cars are not perfect. I'm pretty sure you can fix it like you always can. Oh be sure put your car in highway for tow it free instead your driveway if you are out of luck lol laugh

Just what I was thinking....

I'm begining to think my car was red in another life....


While you were driving, what was the temp of the engine? If it was all the way cold the entire time, then yes, thermostat is stuck open, if it heated up and your heater was cold, check your coolent level.

What was the codes?

I'm gonna guess failure to reach operating temp. That would be a stuck thermostat. That may not be stuck now. I'd swap it out before it fails closed.
