This morning my new to me Reliant, that never has run passed the center mark on the temp gauge went WAAAAAY up bordering on the red marks before the thermostat opened and went back to a little above normal. Thing is, the car didn't "act" hot at all. No rattle, no clatter, no smoke. My friend dropped me at work and took it back home and reported it kept a little above center when at stoplights and then settled down when moving. Any educated guesses? Sticky thermostat? Gauge malfunction? Fan malfunction?
