So i've been having troubles with my temp gauge it wont read since my dad helped me replace the thermostat ( my dad did it ) Anyways So my temp gauge doesn't work anymore and i can tell my engines getting really hot. Smells hot, feels hot, sounds hot, (tastes hot jk) It wasn't a new thermostat but we were doing the water pump so it had to come off. So a couple of questions are my thermostat and temperature gauge related? If the temp gauge was reading badly would that affect how my engine wants to cool itself or does that lie solely with something else? thanks.
