I got an '01 SE and after the cars warms up, the needle
shows a little less than half way and doesn't move. Does
my car just run a very consistant temperature or is there
something wrong with gauge? The cooling fan comes
on and shuts off (with the A/C off) at what seems to
be normal times. Any ideas?

 

I have the same thing. The temp needle has never moved even a hair past the middle mark regardless of conditions....

 

It's fine...If it reaches hot or the red area then youve got some probs.
