My temp guage likes to run from cold to hot and back again. Sometimes several times in the space of a few seconds. I'm thinking that it's not likely that the actual engine temp is fluctuating that much (and please note that I am *not* a mechanic). My mechanic thinks that I have a bad guage (and he's checked the engine temp while the guage showed hot - 120 degrees ). He also said that the computer isn't showing abnormal temperature readings. The car's performance doesn't seem to have changed since this started happening. I did replace the thermostat when this started happening (with a Ford t-stat), and that hasn't had any effect.
Has anyone else had a similar problem ? Does anyone know the part number for a replacement temp gauge ? What, specifically, does that guage measure ?
