    Could be tstat or radiator. As an emergency measure, you can get around by turning on your heat and put the heater fan on 2 or higher; this will act as a second smaller radiator to bleed heat away from your engine. You should see the gauge go down when you do so. Might be a bit uncomfortable even with windows open, but it beats damaging the motor.

        assuming your cooling fan works, unplug the single wire from your thermostat housing.. that will turn you cooling fan on whenever your ignition is in the ON position... may help temporarily.
