When a car is turn off the water stops circulating, but heat is still being conducted from the warm engine into the water. Aslo warm water rises and the temperatue sender unit is usually placed near the op of the eingine. This causes the temp to rise slightly after turning the engine off

Why is car temperature guage reading cold whilst you are driving?
There are several reasons this could be:There is no coolant in the engine to trigger the temperature gauge, this will cause complete engine failure very quicklyThe gauge, wiring or sender are badThe engine temperature control thermostat has jammed open or it has been removed.
Could something be stuck open to cause a temp gauge not to register cause the fuses have been replaced and also could this cause the check engine light to come on?
Most likely, the temperature gauge's connection is loose. It is usually on the thermostat. An inoperative temperature gauge will cause most check engine lights to come on.

Is the cooling fan on a car with a cycling clutch air condition supposed to stay on after car has been turned off?
Many modern cars with electric cooling fans are designed so the cooling fan will continue to run if the engine is hot whether the engine is running or not. This is to eliminate the temperature spike when the motor is turned off. The fan should shut off after the temperature of the motor cools to a certain point. The fan is governed by a temperature switch ( temperature sender ). If the fan runs continuously ( ie doesn't shut off after 5 or so minutes) the temperature switch may be malfunctioning. To test it, with the engine off, disconnect the wire connection to the switch while the engine is cold. Use an ohm meter to check for continutity between the two leads from the sender. While cold the resistance should be infinite ( closed circuit, no continuity). If there is continuity while the motor is cold the switch is bad.
