My enging warning light keeps coming on when ever I am at a stop light or idle. As soon as I begin to drive
though, the temperture gauge starts to go down.
I have antifreeze in and no detectable leaks. What possble reasons for this?

your fan may not be working right, or the engine coolant temperature sensor could be faulty, also the radiator cap could be bad,as far as not being able to build the pressure correctly, another thing is that the thermostat could be stuck open or closed there are many possibilities, but I would first focus on making sure your coolant is mixed 50/50, and verify that your fan is coming on
