ok..I had my car at the shop for a few days. I went to pick it up tonight and when I started it in a matter or minutes the temp gauge showed halfway. Now the car hasn't really run for anymore then 5 mins at a time in the last two weeks and the outside temp is like -4.
Then we move on to driving, I was going down the highway and the temp gauge showed the line right before red but stayed there, come off the highway and stop at a red light it goes down to halfway, start back up again and it goes back up, never futher then the last line before the red.
I got home after 45mins of driving and decided to pop the hood, I felt the rad hoses first, Warm but not over heating warm, valve cover was warm and I could my hand there for as long as I can stay awake, head was warm but nothing out of the ordinary. Smelled around, no smell of rad fluid or anything.
Now I replaced my temp gauge last week cause the old one broke. I also have fresh coolant in the rad topped up, The heater doesn't blow hot air, just very luke warm air. engine runs fine no loss of power or anything.
Any suggestions? Just the gauge is screwed or something or the temp sensor?
