I'd assume you've got some sort of flow problem here.
I've compiled a bit of a pro series questionnaire I'd like you to take some time and review.
Please take a minute or two and complete the survey so your issue can be better addressed.
Please note 2 I took the time to investigate this for you because I'm bored, don't take it personal if I don't return here to save the day.
Lets get the facts;
- You have a mechanical gauge. so no additional grounding is needed for the probe.
- You experienced boil-over, you have a flowing problem.
- Water pump
- Thermostat
- Blockage
- Belt slippage
- YOU SWITCHED THE GAUGE???
What I want to know is, how exactly is this sensor positioned?
You mentioned your Tach, but I'm guessing you meant to say the temp level on the dash?
There's gaps in the information. Is the dash reporting the same as your aftermarket gauge?
Was this new, used? What's the exact model or picture of the exact one you have.
Was this issue around before you messed with the new gauge?
When was the last time the car was tinkered with?
Are the fans stock or electric add-ons?
How are the fans managed if electric?
** You typed "The gauge when switch on" **
Did you put that gauge on it's own toggle switch?
If you did, did you install a toggle switch with an LED in it?
If you did, did you wire the three prongs in the correct order?
If you did, did you run the switch off a relay or off direct battery?
If off direct battery, did you think that would be a good idea?
If so, what made you think that would be a good idea?
