Sometimes when i turn my car on the temp gauge on the far left goes all the way to the high side as far as it will go. Most times it doesnt move from the total opposite side. What exactly is wrong and what do i have to do to repair?

Thx in advance.

Something, and what's broken. :D:D

Time to do some detective work.

I'd first start off - is it the original sending unit for the gauge? If so, replace it. Period. There's a TSB on them being defective through the mid-90's.

I'd also check the connection to the sending unit.

If that's all taken care of, I'd see if I could ground the connection and it drive the gauge up high.

Further culprits - the gauge itself, the anti-slosh board (just removing and reinstalling may take care of it), and the wiring between.
