Temp Gauge Problems...please Help!

Recommended Posts

I have a 95 ES300, I jus recently replaced the sensor for the gauge on the dash and it started back working. The only thing now is that the gauge when it starts up automatically climbs to halfway within 4 seconds from a cold start. Then while driving it slow climbs to "overheating". I know its not over heating because i hooked it up to me scantool and I used a infrared temp scanner and they both read 178 F when it got to the point of normal operating temp and it was holding at that temp. The fan is spinning but not super fast. What I did notice that if I turn the A/C the temp starts to drop down immediately on the gauge and once the A/C is off it climbs back up. When Im on the freeway the temp stays close to a normal temp range without the A/C being on. Also I had jus recently replaced the gauge in the dash for the temp because I thougth that was the problem at first and there is a leak in the power steering somewhere near the power steering pump if that makes a difference. At this point I am completely lost and I dont know what else to do, someone please help me out!!!
