temp gauge acting up
My temp gauge is acting up. It goes from a little over 100 to over 210 then will drop again stay low then shoot up again. It just started a day or so ago.

Sounds like your temp sensor is going bad. Check the connections first and then replace.

So I've flushed the radiator changed the thermostat and still reading hot. The other day it went almost to 260. Shut it off for five minutes and was back down to 210 and wouldn't go past the dash right after 210. Anyone else have issues like this or might have an idea as to what else it could be?
