Last week I got a check engine light several times after about 15 min of operation. The dash temp gauge doesn't work but after checking all fluids were OK, engine runs well, and the light coming on consistently at about 15 minutes after start, I concluded it was overheating.
With a malfunctioning dash gauge, is there another way to test or confirm it is overheating (besides waiting for the head to blow)???
I spent that past few days replacing thermostat, water pump, hoses, and radiator. Still has original overheating problem (first paragraph). Ideas?
