My car is continuously overheating after having changed my thermostat and coolant sensor, why would it be doing this while the temp guage reads normal?

Hi there,

The temp gauge could well be faulty, i would have the radiator cleaned, (not just back flushed) check the pressure cap and cooling fans as well start here.
