Hi Noob! Welcome!

If you don't have a Muti-meter I'd try replacing the temperature gauge sending unit. It's cheap and easy to get at (it's the small sensor under the dizzy with a single yellow/green wire attatched).

If you have a meter the resistance cold should be around 142 ohms and should range between 49 and 32 ohms as the car warms up. GL
