I shut the car down, replaced the hoses and th car did the same thing. I replaced in total: Upper and lower radiator hoses, heater core hoses, radiator cap, thermostat, waterpump and radiator. Only to realize that the temperature gauge was shot. I only realize that after I had changed the water pump and started the car. The temp gauge shot up to past H within 1 minute just idling and about 30 minutes if I gave it some gas. I sat and watched the needle go past the H after the water pump install and the car was fine. No smoke from engine, radiator cap was normal, hoses felt normal and car ran normally. I have driven a car that was overheating and this car did not feel that way. I drove the car car 80 miles per day to and from work. Oh and I also wired the fans to run with the switch so that wasn't the issue either. Swap gauge clusters and let us know.
well my gauge and sensor were working great about a week ago with my old setup but now it doesnt seem to want to work i doubt its my cluster but i can check,also whats the quickest way to read an obd1 check engine code thanks
