Hi - I replaced both water temp sensors - I think one is for the computer, one is for the guage.

I've got a guage that pegs the red when the car is started and then run for about 5 minutes.

Is my guage bad? Any suggestions on fixing this?

I thought a new sending unit would do the trick and the blasted sender was $40.
