So after driving her for three days after a motor swap and all, it is "overheating" or at least thats what it says.
Yesterday driving home I look down to find my gauge maxed out on the hot and I panic. Shut the car off and coast to the side of a freeway. I pop the hood and I have coolant in the overflow not boiling. I have full oil with a oil cooler. And my fans are working- well, at least one is. So, thermostat? Nope I just changed it and drove around the block about 6 times and bam! She starts climbing after sitting at operating temp for about 1.5 times around the block. What's going on here!? Should I even trust this gauge? The sensor? Help!
