i need help with this, i just got my 240sx, and well the coolant temp will show that its hot and then sometimes will go between normal and hot, with in a 30 sec. period, so at first i thought it was maybe there was air in the coolant system, well i pulled off the bleeder, or burp screw and let it run for a while with it off, but that didn't fix it, so i bought a new radiator cap, that didn't do it, i burped it after that to, then i bought a new sensor but that didn't do it, i'm about to just shoot it, i am getting a code 13, and a code 45, can anyone please help me

ok, here is where i am at with this, i replaced the temp gage sensor, the ecu temp sensor, the thermostat, ran it without the thermostat, flushed the system, had the radiator flow tested, checked the water pump, and this is what happens every time, i turn the car on, and for maybe 2mins the thing runs a normal temp but then the gage shoots up to hot, actually way over hot, as far as it can, the car operates fine, i have not cleared the ecu of the codes yet but i'm going home right now and i am going to do that, i am going to put the system back together and go get the temp wire tested with an ohm tester, oh and yes i have burped the system, when i pulled the gage out water came poring out with it, so i don't think that is it, the codes are a 13 and 45, it’s a 89 240sx sohc
