My temp gauge starts from cold and when I hit running temp and thermostat opens temp gauge gos just under hot redline when car is not overheating. I replaced radiator cap,coolant flush,thermostat,radiator hoses,coolant temp sensor and bled cooling system. Ive even ran car for over an hour today at idle in 90+ weather with my digital temp gun and it stayed at 217 the entire hour even though temp gauge said I was overheating 5 minutes after starting. My gauge has been doing this for almost a year now and once at running temperature says I'm overheating but the car has never ran hot as I check it religiously with my digital temp gun. So once again when I start the car its at cold and after letting it run for 5 minutes or so to get to running temperature after the thermostat opens up temperature gauge goes to hot even though car is at normal temperature . Any ideas?
