What else can I help you with?
Why would a temp gauge in a car go up like the car is going to overheat when the temp gauge sytem light stays off?
You may have air trapped in the cooling system.This will cause the gauge to spike. Try this: remove the radiator cap and allow the engine to run for about 20 minutes. Add coolant as necessary. If this does not work I would replace the stat. Finally, I would check the actual cooalant with a thermometer to determine the actual temp. I hope this helps you. Mark

A malfunctioning thermostat will do what you describe if it is opening at at very high temperature, at some point it probably will quit opening at all.
