jeebowhite Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Could be a stuck thermostat, but the needle should have returned back down, if it didnt, even on the gauge test, it could have been receving odd information from the thermo, so start with that, check that its not stuck, and replace as necessary.
