Engine Temperature - Changing Thermostat Question
I'm having a problem with the engine temperature gauge. At times it seems to flutuate a lot going from 10% warm to just under 50%. After driving for a while, the car stays around 20% or less on the gauge. Do you guys have some advice on what this could be?

If the temperature gauge drops while driving on the highway for example, you likely have a bad thermostat - it is stuck open, so you are overcooling the enging.
If the temperature gauge sits in the middle once the car is warmed up and while idling, but then starts dropping as you start driving, its definitely a bad thermostat.
15 bucks and and hour (maximum) to change it out. You can do it yourself.

i have a new thermostat and my gauge does that...not sure what the problem is, some say it's a sensor next to the ects, which i replaced a few years ago...someone also suggested it could be a voltage issue, which i'd have no idea how to fix. another suggestion was the gauge itself is bad because it happens to 95's seemingly often. i'd like to get rid of the problem but am not exactly sure what it is at this point in time.
