Might need a new thermostat. When the car is warm how hot are each of the pipes coming form the rad, maybe the thermostat is stuck and needs replacing. or the radiator could be blocked.

Its either that or a temp sensor i would think.

they not to hot as you cant hold them not the rad ether i replaced it as i got the car with a front how do i check the reading on the dash is a true reading also what temp should it run at

Depends, when im runnin at 70mph it sits way down, and through town at 30 stopping and starting it can get to almost mid way on the gauge. If it gets to warm the rad soon takes it down.

Im thinking thermostat
