It's either thermostat or temp sender basically car sits at about 70 most of the time sometimes hits 90 degrees

I would replace the thermostat first (cheaper of the 2) and then see how you get on

I drove mine for ages with a knackered thremostat and temp sender, dont know if its related but it ended up cocking up my water pump/cam belt.
