Temperature gauge going up at high speeds or pushing accelerator?
Hey guys, my Acura TL 2007 126k Miles is having a bit of trouble. Temperature gauge goes up about 3 lines above half way when I either push the accelerator at high speeds on regular streets or the highway. Both my IAT & ETC sensors were replaced about 2 weeks ago. Thermostat was also replaced, but had to use old gasket because new one didn’t come with it. It’s a failsafe thermostat by the way. Radiator was flushed with distilled water & put in Acura approved coolant. Most might make a big deal about it, but just in case it was a leaking head gasket I used k seal just in case they weren’t any leaks. Radiator wiring might be bad, because they’re connected direct. It’s a brand new radiator that was in storage for about 5 months. What can it be exactly ?

smells like a failing water pump or head gasket.
No one knows what it will be until you or a mechanic goes balls deep into it, so instead of doing a bandaid fix with k-stop or whatever dafuq you used...you gotta go in and see if it is a bad head gasket. gotta go in and see if the water pump is leaking.
