Agreed, but the imprecise description leaves me wondering what "hot" means to the OP. What does the temp gauge read and IS IT WORKING? If the temp gauge is not working then I agree, DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR with it too hot. You absolutely must have a working temp gauge in the car, even if you BS one under the hood. (I currently have a ponton temp gauge next to the battery under my hood because I haven't gotten around to replacing the one in the cluster).
