ok here we go i have a J60PLSSE Elec Start, TNT, 20 IN. shaft 2000

model stamped 99 but meets 2000 specs had an issue with a cracked coil but thats replaced now.... the prob im having is when i turn the ignition on the 4 lights on the tach go through check procedure and then the check engine light flicks back on and stays lit...... if i start it then the check list happens again and the warning buzzer activates also the check engine light stays on...after about 10-20 seconds the buzzer stops but the light stays on... my main question is, is the check engine light and horn to do with electrical or overheating for my model...... ill add that this is cold start and the buzzer happens instantly gains in volume then stops...Thanks in advance

oh forgot to add its got new water pump and pumps plenty from tell tale however i just checked the thermostat and there isnt one in there ( will be installed soon)
