over heating could be sensor thats bad?

Well i had my car over heat the other day and this all happened after my bad ground problem. Well i thought it was the therm. so i toke it out at work so after that it still got alittle warm while driving it but nothin to bad. Well i got home the next day i changed my radiator my fans cause one of them hadnt been workin for a while and i had the radiator flushed and cleaned very well plus put a new therm. in too. well the next day i was driving to work and it did fine almost all the way there but when i got close to work it started riding alittle high (this was in 90 deg. weather). Well i drove home that night and it started rising up and down jumping up the whole ride back. I could slam on the brakes and it would go back down most of the time so i got it home and was goin to change my water pump to day but it is still good im pretty sure, but i seen that on the sensor where the clip clips on it could spin around and was real loose so im think my car might not be overheating?? i replaced everything i could think of that would make my car over heat.

If your temperature gage is reading erratically, it sounds like you haven't fixed your ground problem yet

Well my car is fixed now well i replaced my sensor and got a new ground for the battery so after all that i drove it about 12 miles down the road and half down the interstate doing 90 trying to make it run warm and it did great!
