replace ECT sensor, and or check wiring from ECT sensor to ECU. The guage in the cluster reads from a different single wire sensor.

Dude.... you really need to read the posts above once again

There are 2 sensors. The cluster has one sensor. And the ECU uses its own sensor. Different sensors. Different wires all the way. /Allan
