The temperature gauge was creeping up so I replaced the thermostat. Worked for a day and then it began again. Then I replaced the thermostat and the engine coolant sensor and it was fine for a week. Now, it is starting to creep up again. There are no leaks and there is circulation through the radiator as well. I unplugged the coolant sensor when it started creeping up as the fan wasn't on and it was ok for the rest of the 15 minute drive home. Any ideas?

Hello, I would assume this is your fuel pump inside your tank. I would first however do some basics like a general tuneup. For starters I would replace your spark plugs and wires, rotary cap and button and check your fuses. Run some injector cleaner through your system. You know quick simple cheap things before you get to the fuel pump inside the gas tank which can be kinda expensive. The warm up then dies can be caused by, "blownout or fouled," spark plugs. I hope this gives you a general direction in which to go. A sidenote is that coil packs do not normally run an igntion code and I for one do not like them becuase they are expensive.

Sometimes the pipe that runs under the intake will leak. Can you smell antifreeze burning while you are driving? Another way to tell, is to let the vehicle run with the cap off. IF you get alot of bubbles out of the radiator, you have a cracked head, or a bad head gasket which is also a fairly common problem. It will push the antifreeze out of the radiator, and cause it to overheat.
