Hi My coolant Temp gauge always reads Hot Even When My Engine hasn't run at all soon as I turn the key on the needle goes all the way up, We tried changing the coolant temp senser But it still does the same thing. I know I am Not over heating but it would be nice to be able to use the guage.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
