One day my car decided to go all the way to the top of the temperature gauge. I'm still using the stock one and yes I know they suck but, it got to the L and the redline so I figured maybe my thermostat gave out. I replaced the thermostat and for one drive to the other side of town (few miles) everything was fine.
But, now within two miles of driving the temperature just keeps rising and rising. At first it goes to about the O normally then within 30 seconds it jumps to the L. So it looks like the thermostat isn't opening at all, but it's brand new and I'm positive it is in correctly (spring side in).
What could make a thermostat not open besides a bad stat?
Thanks.
