The problem I'm having is with my temperature gauge. It slowly rises minutes after I turn the car on and reaches the red area. Sometimes it goes past the red as if the gauge or sensor stopped working, but mostly it stays around the extremely hot (red) area. It could be that the car is heating up but I doubt it. This started after my trip from El Paso to Austin as I was arriving to Austin. The gauge started scaring me by drastically rising but the car never turned off as I thought it was supposed to. I would open the hood and no signs of those high temps. I took the thermostat off, checked the fans and water pump and replaced the ECT but it does the same thing. Also (maybe coincidentally) the oil pressure gauge is going wacky too. The temp gauge rises when I turn on the AC (but sometimes drops) or when I turn the lights on. It is like draining the battery raises the temperature. There are no leaks and no smoke. I think it might be the sensor sending info. to the gauge (but then what is up with the oil pressue)? maybe these 2 problems are related. Can anyone help out? Maybe at least telling me where the sensor that sends the info. to the gauge is at? Thanks
