What kind of temperature gauge? If it is a bodily thermometer, the thermometers probably have a maximum temperature they can actually measure, that or whoever designed them knew that above a certain temperature you would just be dead, and thus instead of reading 150 degrees it just says hot. I can't think of another thermometer that would just read out "hot".

What does it mean when temp gauge goes up and down continuously?
Your temp. sensor might be faulty, or the wiring for the gauge, but 9 out of 10 times this indicates air in the cooling system. Check the overflow tank. When there is HOT coolant on the sensor, it pops up. When air hits the sensor, it dives down.
