Do you have like a meat thermometer just remove
the rad cap and take a reading right in the
coolant and see what you get

should be between 190 200 degrees if so you have
something else up that your guage does not read
right.

You can check the new sensor to see if its right
here is the tables you need and a how to check
instructions to check the sending unit.

Did you replace the guage sending unit or egine
temp sensor, they are 2 differant animals
