[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16482766, member: 184279"] Well, first I would probably check with IR temp gun. Drive around a bit to get to normal temps, then stop and measure temps in a few spots (write them down), then do the highway drive thing and when gauge climbs, quickly stop and measure same spot(s) and compare with previous temps to confirm they are actually hotter. If they are still the same temp, then you have been blessed by the Gods and it's just a sensor (hopefully). My other thought is possibly there is dirt, or crud, or old leaves, or plastic bag, or whatever; restricting air flow over the radiator cooling fins. Hold a light against the radiator from the engine side and look through to see if all nice and clean. Of course, I'm sure you checked the fan. A bad or faulty catalytic converter can disrupt the normal combustion properties of an engine, and force the engine to work harder in order to emit the burned exhaust gases, causing overheating. Hope this helps. It's a weird issue. I'll be interested to see what it ends up being. Good luck in the fix! [/QUOTE]
