Car temperature goes up to almost 220 degrees? Overheating?

This sounds normal, is the engine overheating? What kind of problem are you having?

It is common for the engine coolant sensor to short out or have a loose connection at the electrical connector so check that as well. Here is the location of the sensor so you can change it out, if this is not the problem then the instrument cluster is going bad and needs replacement, check out the images below to show you how to fix the problem. If the cluster is bad, you can get a rebuilt unit by searching Google, have your VIN number ready. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
