94 SL2 Overheating

Hi,I have a 94 saturn SL2 that's overheating. So far I've done the following:1. The coolant doesn't leak2. The radiator is new3. Connected the radiator fan to the battery and the fan spins4. Had a mechanic look at all the fuses and relays, all are fine.5. Had three mechanics told me that it's the temperature sensor (one of them)So my question is as follows:My Hanes manual says that I should replace the thermostat. Is the thermostat the same as the temperature sensor? If not are there instructions on replacing it?Where would I get the part numbers for what I need?Thanks,Andrew

It DID -- but the gauge didn't show it.

That's because up until you replaced the faulty sensor, the gauge was never showing the correct temperature. Now it is.
