so im out driving my celica around. and any time i boost the coolant temp guage rapidly goes up. so i stop boosting and then it goes down. full coolant wasnt low.
 ok the sensor thats in the top right hand corner the one you cant see in the pic has nothing connected to that wire no place to hook it up to. could that be the problem. if so which i think it must. what do i do. am i missing where that plugs into? -------------------- |

nah. i havent replaced it. we are flushing the coolant system now to make sure no air is in the system. the needle stays right in the center while normal driving but when i get on it it shoots up but as soon as i let off it just falls back down. without blowing the cap off or anything thats why we think its air in the system. ps stock gt radiator
