My temperature goes to hot and then goes back down to the middle and I took it in to two different shops now and they both said nothing was wrong with it. But when I smell by the grill it smells HOT and the fan in front of the radiator is not spinning when the car is on and I look under the hood, but the temperature gauge goes all the way to hot and then levels back to even and then goes all the way hot again. Is the gauge broke?
