Take it back to the guy that did the head gasket. He probably left the CTS unplugged.

If the gauge is acting weird, I’d start with the basics before assuming the engine is actually overheating. Check the coolant level cold, make sure the fan is cycling normally, and think about whether the system was opened recently. A trapped air pocket can make the temp gauge do odd things even when the real issue is just the cooling system not being bled properly.................... link deleted
