satan plays with my temp needle

as you all know my car sold its soul to satan for the 5speed, i assume thats why every month i have a new problem. I started it up other morning on a vvvvvvvery cold day, and right when the temp needle had just gotta off of the bar it rested on it was shaking pritty violently in about a half centimeter arc. when i finally had overall warmed up on the highway, it was perfectly fine. it basically just quivered on the way up to normal, what do you think caused this, time for radiator flush? coolant system funked up? who knows, help me cast satan out!

Just check the plug on the sensor. Clean the contact points.

Worst case if your temp sensor for the dash is shot. Since the ECU and dash have a different sensor, it should hurt anything...just make you nervous!

Bring your car to a Church and have satan cast out. If that does not work, use holy water with you radiator coolant.

This is a funny thread!

Take it to a mechanic and show him. When the needle makes it's move scream, "DAMN YOU SATAN!!!!!" and go from there.
