New rdiator,hoses,thermostat,thermostat housing,heater core,timing belt,fan relay that mounts on plastic radiator cover,water pump, and flushed engine block 3 times. used a laser gun with gauge in full red after idleing for 20 minutes and temps on engine block were anywhere from 180 f to 200 f and 215 f on the exhaust manifold. bought a cht sensor and took off my belt and alternator but cant find it. any ideas on whats wrong with this pos??????????
Because you have done so many repairs already I would most likely say that the gauge is defective. I would use a manual temp probe and probe the coolant temp after the car has reached operating temp. Coolant will be between 180- 230 degrees. If coolant temp checks out and you can see coolant moving in radiator and the vehicle does not overheat then you will need either a gauge or a coolant sensor. To locate the sensor it should either be mounted in the thermostat goose neck housing or the intake manifold.
