Do you maintain your car?
I dont understand what needle you mean. Your Tachometer? Did you engine actualy rev up?
If thats the case then it was probly something that went thru the system that shouldnt have(dirt or rust that made it thru the fuel filter) or something made it in to the engine from the air intake. The engine was just burning whatever it was off. or a emissions valve (egr) was stuck and it was making up for it. who knows. try n be more specific and not curseI cant Slam further. The ground refuses to get any lower.

Oh..
Why would you rev it if it was overheating? That would compound the problem if it was actualy overheating.
N E way, to fix it replace all the temp sensors. one should be near where the thermostat was i think there is another one near it. and make sure there isnt any messed up wiring from the connectors.
Sorry, I didnt get what the problem was. Hope it gets fixed.
Or.. also. the thermostat you got (could be)was defective and not letting the fluid into the radiator letting it overheat where sensor is. and reving it just freed it (water pump speeds up w/ the rev.) in that case trade it for one that works. I would treat that guage as true even if your having electrical problems and not rev it, honestly i would have gotten off the road and shut the motor down asap if it was even acting like it was overheating. metal warps with ease under heat.I cant Slam further.

Honestly, that overflow could be from the car overheating and boiling the coolant into the overflow catch.
your sensor could be wrong and telling the ecu that everything is cooler than it actualy is ... not letting the fans kick in and cool the car.
Thats a bad combo.
90% is its the temp sensor.. i think they run like $10-$35 US from most any parts store.I cant Slam further. The ground refuses to get any lower.

The cap does a lot more than sealing the system. It also holds pressure in the system. SO if the spring is weak it will open early letting coolant flow into the overflow. As mentioned check that. They have cap testers to tell you if its good or bad.Originally posted by takumei86

the people that tell its not the cap are dumbasses or don't know anything
like nail said, the cap maintains the cooling system pressurized, i believe yours should be a 13 lb cap, i am running a 17 lb cap on mine, this raises the boiling point of the coolant which will cause less overheatingComment
