My son tells me that he starts his car and waits a while for it to warm up a bit, not to full operating Temperature. He puts it in Drive and as he accelerates he watches his Temp gauge rise into the red zone.
He has opened the hood at this point and does not get the sense that it is overheating. No HOT HOT smell, he can touch the radiator and other parts of the engine that would indicate Overheating.
I wonder if a faulty Temp Sensor would be Voltage critical and maybe the acceleration raises the Voltage a bit over an idle driving the sensor to give a high reading. Any thoughts?
P.S. no coolant in Oil or oil in coolant so the Head gaskets seem happy.
Where is the Temp Sensor on the 2.5?
