92 Honda Accord EX temperture gauge stays in the cold range but i am getting heat. When parked for a period of time the gauges goes up but when I start driving goes right back to cold. Have antifreeze 70/30 mixture.

You probably have a bad gauge sender but could also be the gauge itself.

On a side note, you are losing protection with that coolant mix. It starts going backwards after 55/45. 50/50 will get you -34

Note and common antifreeze which is ethylene glycol based and a strange bird. % used matter a lot as HT just mentioned. This chart sometimes on containers is exactly what is suggested in the yellow area. You need to know total system capacity and what you have added but seem to know 70/30 if you mean 70% product and 30% water you are causing issues. If you need "freeze" protection below the most common 50/50 = -34F and some do just go a little lower. Damn vehicles don't run at -65F anyway.

Chart........

Forget the boiling point properties as that is misleading. The product doesn't help much, the pressure of the system's pressure cap does - period.

You need some even if you are always in the tropics. Some engines and applications will suggest setting freeze protection to about -20F as it is better at cooling than EG - very few for anything automotive.

I should and don't know the exact protection mix that renders the mix such that it will not expand like plain water does but it's around a mix set to as high as perhaps +15F or so. Don't quote me on that exact #.

It will go to slush not solid like an ice cube. The problem is even though if too cold you may run it wont flow.

Getting this all wrong can mess up what sensors are sensing so get the mix right or tests could be misleading. Since there's an issue at least get the mix right first,
