I get on the freeway and goo less than a mile and the car says check guages, it in the red soo im nervous. i pull off the freeway and the car is running normal and i pop the hood in the gas station and put my hand on the manifold and its cold to the touch, mind you its like 40 degrees outside. the temp goes down really fast as soon as i stop. once i pull of again it shoots up and withn 3 secs its back buried past the red again, at the light within 3 secs it back at the middle wtf. everylight it eventually goes almost to the red and then as i pull off it drops wayyyy down then creeps back up to the red???? wassup :(

yeha some times they get stuck closed, but if that was the case you would overheat if you was moving or sitting still.

how many miles on the car?

UMM YOU COULD HAVE AIR IN THE SYSTEM. TRY BEELDING IT

Make sure you still have that black plastic airdam underneath the nose of your car. It directs airflow up in front of your radiator. You will overheat without it. My dad has warned me about parking because of this very reason, as soon as you get onto the freeway there is not enough air to cool off the radiator. Otherwise check the thermo and replace your coolant, 30$ well spent for those, extra insurance for the price.
