89 240 NOt certain if thermostat, coolant temp sensor, or? 200 1989

Hello all,

Earlier this year, I had the A/C compressor replaced on my trusty 1989 245. A few weeks later, the "check engine" light came on, and I noticed my temp gauge was not moving from the bottom line. I then noticed that the engine was overheating, even after shortish trips.

So, where do I start? I'm not certain what to look for. From reading the boards, I'm guessing Coolant temp sensor or the thermostat. Even with the A/C repair, I'm into the brick for less than $150/ month, and I'd like to keep it that way. Also, if anyone knows of a good shop in Spokane, WA- please let me know. I miss Portland, OR- I was spoiled by the Volvo shops every mile or so!
