the temp gauge is just one small problem you have .
odds are it's a BHG . it would be helpful to figure out what went "clunking "

I know, but it's somewhere on I30 probobly flattened out!

The dealer that I bought the car from just changed the clutch fan and radiator fluid. Is it possible that there is air in the coolant lines?

odds increased

I'm convinced

There are 2 coolant lines that run under the intake manifold. One comes from the throttle body and connects to the water bypass pipe. The other comes from the ISC valve and connects to the lower intake manifold's integral nipple.

As IHateHacks said.

ddmcse is right you know, the 7M-GE throttle body doesn’t seem to have any coolant pipes connected to it unlike 7M-GTE.
