Or the pressure in the engine may not be okay the oil or engine pressure sensor. If not then you may want to do a compression test to see if the pressure in the engine is good.

I am a female and know nothing about engines. Can the coolant temp sensor and/or oil or engine pressure sensor be tested easily?
