[FWDLK] Charging



So I'm finally out driving my car for the season and remembered that at the end of last season I had an issue.
 
When I throttle the car up to highway rpms, the temp guage goes all the way up almost to overheat and as soon as I let the throttle down, the guage comes down to where it should be. Definitely not worrking corrrect in that there's no way the engine temp is fluctuating that much in that quick of a span. Then driving home I notice my headlight are exceptionally bright.
Anyway, I get home and put a volt meter on it and at higher rpm, it has the meter pegged past 16 volts (16 is the highest the meter goes)
So off the top of my head and haven't dug the manual out for any testing procedures. I'm thinking the voltage regulator is bad.
 
Any other possibilities?
 
Thanks,
Nick
