I replaced the part and went into the bleeding procedure, and the car wasn't on for 2 minutes and the temp gauge went straight to red. I stopped everything and let the car "cool down" for another 3 hours and I tried to start it... it started, but again, straight to red. I put the car in the garage and about 5 hours and later turned the ignition to the on position without actually starting hte car, and guess what.... straight to red. So, while I realize that I could have a major problem in the background, I believe a sensor or something is bad preventing me from getting actual readings and negatin my troubleshooting methods.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
