Check the temp sensor connection.
The temp sensor is usually red and it is connected at the front of the manifold, right by the coolant hose.

i have checked both connections, the first thing i suspected was a loose or damaged plug. im pretty sure the smaller black plug is the one that runs the temp gauge.
