Digital Dash Temp Guage - Stuck at 170
Most of the time the temperature gauge in my 88 GTA' climbs to 170 and gets stuck there. Sometimes if I restart the car it will operate normal and climb higher, but most of the time it is stuck there.
Is it the gauge itself, the temp sender...?

Temp Attempt
Here’s how to test the sender:
With the car OFF, and the wire disconnected from the sender, connect an ohmmeter from ground to the sender.
Now you can start the engine.
As the engine warms up the ohmmeter reading will decrease smoothly.
If the ohmmeter exhibit’s the same symptom as the gage, replace the sender.
