Temp light

[Tweetdriver63]

I could use a little help.

My car (2001 base/MT) had been parked in a parking garage for the last four days. When I got it today, as soon as I started it up, the red warning light at the top of the temp gauge scale came on—blinking at about a 1-2 second rate.

The manual says nothing about blinking vs steady, and only that it comes on when the coolant temperature is too high. The weird thing is that the coolant temperature was basically ancient temp when it came on, and as you can see in the picture I took after 15-20 minutes of driving, that temp never got high at all.

You’ll also see the CEL on in the pic. I stopped at an Advance Auto Parts store and had them check for codes. The code they saw was P1341–Camshaft adjustment, bank 1. When I got home, I checked again with my Durametric. I got that code and three others—P0300 Porsche fault code 62, misfire damaging to cat converter, P0305 Porsche fault code 67, cylinder 5 misfire damaging to cat converter, and P0410, Porsche fault code 80, secondary air injection system cylinder (1-3).

I cleared those codes to see if they come back.

Any ideas about that temp light??
