For some reason my engine heat will go up to HIGH.

My engine check light was on, but I figured it was my cold air.(the light always comes on since i had it installed) I restarted the computer and it went off and came back on again. It turned out my engine coolant was loose and empty.

I added some more and within 10 - 20 seconds it was empty again. I added some more and drove around the block right quick and my engine was warm and when i pulled up to my drive way, i let it run and my bro told me that it went back to high.

What should I do?

i don't know if it is possible but maybe u got a leak... sounds the like the only thing to me... when i had mine installed I accidentally loosened a fuse for the radiator fan, so it didn't cool and my engine was hot too, but if your're loosin coolant.... i dunno?

don't go to Fred Hass, they suck!...go to SterlingMcCall toyota talk to a guy names Mark Stewman, he is great. Tell him that you were reffered buy Kareem. Your problem sounds like either a Leak like noted earlier, or a blown head gasket (the coolant gets all burned up in the combustion chamber, White smoke out of tail pipe)...change fluid latley? maybe who ever did it fogot to fill up enough fluid...that is my diagnosis.
