Please help!!!!
The oil temp n the coolant temp gauges on my Vette 94 are not moving from the shaded area, meaning its overheating or something.....I already replace the fuses, that didnt do anything 
and change the oil since the change oil light came up. but still the gauges are set to max and wont change from there, is there anything I can do???? Im thinking changin the coolant temp. sensor?? Please Help!!!!

Ok Ive checked the oil level is good, the water pump pumps, coolant level is good, now need to check the thermostat. And the fans only one turns on as I turn the car on, is that ok? And One more thing, the gauges are all set to high when the car is off, as soon as I turn the car on, only the oil press n volts move while the oil temp n coolant gauge dont move at all, I mean at all, can the gauge mark right as soon as the car starts? Thank you very much!!!

both mark about the same levels. I just drove the car after changing the thermostat, and it run good with no problem until maybe 15mins in started to overheat up to 210 I stopped and turn the car off to let it cool down.....

ps- If you replaced the t/stat I hope you bleed the air using the bled screws per the FSM.

Are you sure the replacement thermostat was designed for an LT1?
