wth is running hot?

^ Engine temperature I'm sure.

if u mean by running hot the temp needle rises towards the 'H' i wouldnt drive it.
check ur thermostat, maybe its stuck closed?
do u have coolant? might have a leak in ur radiator or hoses?
should get it checked asap

[dougie_504]

If the needle rises at all from cold, then I think it's working and the previous owner is full of shiz.

As above, check your hoses for any leaks, make sure you have coolant, and if those two fail to solve your issue then go thermostat. Is your radiator fan turning on?

^^ once u have tried all that and still think its a faulty cluster i have one in my car which works properly that u can try if u want.
