Greetings from Utah -
During a nice drive last weekend, I noticed my temperature gauge was reading well past the limit! I stopped and noted no pressure on the top hose, and ultimately, no visible coolant. I let the car cool and added enough water to be visible in the radiator, (just over a gallon!). The car behaved just fine on the way home, no signs of overheating, etc. However, the temperature gauge still indicated well past the limit into the oil pressure area. After letting the car completely cool, the temperature gauge no longer returns to 0, rather, it points towards 90.
What's going on???
