Ok my car temp gauge has been going over to L and past for a while now. So yesterday I went and had the radiator flushed, a new water pump installed etc and it was still doing it.. but then we noticed that although the temp gauge was all the way on L, when we removed the radiator cap the antifreeze didn't come squirting out and we were actually able to stick our fingers in it without getting burned.. Now if it was really hot enough to be on the L wouldn't it have burned the hell out of our fingers? So I put on a new temp coolant sensor, but now the damn temp gauge stays on C and never moves.. if I put the old one back on and let the car run for like ten minutes it shoots back over to the L... this is confusing to me.. Judging by the actual temp of the coolant versus the reading on the gauge the car can't be overheating... Any thoughts? Why would the new sensor not move the temp gauge?
