Ok dash, I just had the same diagnostic trouble code you had on your stang. Did you ever find out why it all started on the first place? My overheating nightmare started today after I pulled out the hose on top of the engine yesterday and everything filled with engine coolant. It was cold though, we did that yesterday. I needed to replace the gasket on the thermostat.
(*PICTURE*)
Today I took it for a spin today and I had that CHECK ENGINE light on. It's a bit low on coolant so I'll go check it now after it cools down completely. Maybe I have some air bubbles or something because I did not bleed the system. But I wanted to ask you, how did you end up with that P1285 CODE anyways? And how did you solve it? Because I don't wanna have a warped head budd. I'm never setting my car on fire, and I wouldn't wanna see it catch fire either. I love it regardless of how it behaves. Thanks in advance!

I'm awakening from this dreadful nightmare. . . You all made it possible.

A 1285 code is when your cylinder head gets too hot. You need to use that bleeder fitting when filling the car with antifreeze.....

Thanks shiner, I fixed it today. The Engine Coolant was low but there is a coolant hose between the fans and the engine almost under the powersteering pump that has something inside of it. Is it normal? Should I post pictures and show you?
