My check engine light has come on, went to the advanced auto parts and had them run a test. The coolant temperature thermostat is causing the problem the light check! Is this an issue that needs to be resolved right away and if so how long can I drive until it would be a serious issue?

if your vehicle is not overheating you can continue to drive it but I recommend replacing as soon as you can to ensure your car operates as designed. It also will not pass a state inspection as long as the light is on

replace ASAP, if the fault is there its going to re appear. its going to leave you when you less expect it.
