Alright so I did the 2.7i head swap drained all the coolant new water pump new tb etc. I'm pretty confident in my bleeding abilities.
The odd thing about it is that when the car is parked at idle or at a medium RPM that the temp gauge stays in the middle. Only when I start driving it it begins to climb, and never touches the red but is extremely close. This is weird because there is no airflow through the engine when it's parked, but all of a sudden at the same rpm while driving it starts climbing. Then I park it and it drops back to the middle which doesn't seem like it would happen if it was really overheating.
How can I test to see if the car is really getting hot/ about to overheat or if it's just a sensor or some wiring?
