Coolant tempature gauge rises above 210 while driving then goes back to normal reading
Can I drive it with air in the system? I've tried burping it...also when I drive it majority of the time the gauge reads normal. Everything is functioning and circulating it appears.- Ramboy98

Im almost sure the sensor is going out...my heat gets way to hot and system builds really good pressure....also no leaks around the housing of thermostat. Is that sensor hard to replace?- Ramboy98

I have extremely good hot heat I have driven...- Ramboy98
