After driving for 10-15mins the Temperature gauge will show car is overheating but when i pull over to check, car is still cool and not hot.
Coolant was drained. I don't know exactly where the thermostat/temperature sensor is. I'll need diagrams to assist in locating it.
Please help

Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine to find the thermostat housing.

These errors that have no basis of overheating often turn out to be a bad Engine ECU...
