Default Bad ground?

So at random times..more often lately ...my check engine light will come on at the same time my electronic throttle control light comes on amd the engine fan blows really hard and loud..unless i shut it off and restart..may get a couple miles down the road and boom same thing happens all simultaneously ..now as of a couple days ago my thermostat is also all over the place...any one that could help me out would be soo greatly appreciated..i cant take it to the braindead dealers around here as i already know that theyre gonna tell me they need it for a week and i cant be without a vehicle

first if your check engine light is coming on you should be kicking codes. find someone or somewhere with an OBD II code reader. judging by the symptoms, it could be a faulty sensor somewhere. thermostat may have went out as well. any loss of fluids or anything else?

I would inspect intake sensors. with electronic throttle if things get dirty readings are wrong. make sure your throttle body valve is clean and showing good freedom of movement. and to fully reset things disconnect your neg. battery terminal, see if lights return.
