Screwy Thermostat
Whenever it gets over 70 degrees and i drive my car for more than 30 minutes my temp guage goes to 3:00, past all markings. could it be a sensor or is it something else? 91 Tbi/AT

Check to see if your cooling fan is working. If not, could be the fan switch located between #6 and #8 spark plugs on the passenger side of the engine. These rascals have a tendency to stop working.

OK replaced the temp sensor but that didn't fix it. Went to 220 and still the fan wont kick in. Does any one have another solution.
