That question is hard to answer without checking the car over. It could be either a bad sensor, a bad wire, or a bad fan. In the worst case the computer could be screwed up.

When stopped the temperature gauge goes up to near high?
There is a good chance that your radiator cooling fan is not working properly. Some vehicles have a mechanical clutch that causes the radiator fan to operate when the vehicle is stopped or at low speeds. These clutches can wear out and need replacement. Other vehicles have an electric radiator fan that is controlled by a thermostat placed somewhere in the vehicle's engine coolant flow. Electric fans can malfunction and not pull enough air through the radiator to keep it properly cooled. The electric cooling fan's thermostat can go bad too.
We Have a 88 Honda accord lx that keeps overheating have changed thermostats and checked timing belt replaced radiator and checked cooling fans still overheats?
If you replaced some of theses already ignore and go down the line # Not enough coolant # Water pump drivebelt defective or out of adjustment # Radiator core blocked or grille restricted # Thermostat faulty # Electric cooling fans blades broken or cracked # Radiator cap not maintaining proper pressure # Ignition timing incorrect
What would cause the heat gauge to go up to 260 when the radiator is full?
It depends on what kind of car and what year. if it has cooling fans, they can be not operating.

It shouldn't be doing that ... an electric fan should be kicking in to help cool the water circulating through the radiator.
How can you tell if your 1996 Mazda 626 has a transmission oil cooler theres 2 plastic fans in front of the radiatorand what appears to be a smaller radiator on the grill sidemaybe a tran cooler?
the smaller "radiator in the front of the other one" is actually part of your cars air conditioning system. if you are standing in front of your vehicle and are looking into the engine bay, on the passenger side of the radiator will be two metal fittings/tubbing that lead to rubber hoses near the bottom of the "two fans" then these hoses go into the transmission. if anywhere these hoses instead go into a ( say 6 inch by 9 inch "radiator looking contraption" that would be the cooler) if not. then the transmission lines are stock.

You changed the thermostat in your car and temp was ok for a few hours and started to go high again?
Assuming fluid is not lost, and thermostat is not sticking, and water pump is working, and radiator not blocked, must be electric fan not cutting in. I think its switched on by a sensor on the block. Check cut in of electric fan. IF thats working, must be blocked or ineffective radiator.

How do you change a radiator on a 1989 Camry?
Real easy if it's a 4-cyl. Drain the fluid, remove the hoses, take out the radiator fans, unbolt the little puppy and lift it out. Not sure - go to a junk yard and practice on one in the yard. It's a great place to learn how to do a lot of jobs...
