Need advice 01 Z06/coolant temperature
My Z had a Blower on it and I decided to put it back to stock with all
OEM parts !!!
I had a very reputable shop do it ~!! It cost me 2500 just to get the car back to stock
here's the Problem the car runs perfect/idles fine that is until My coolant temperature starts acting funny
example Im just Cruising and the Coolant on the DIC reads 180
then all of the sudden it drops to 130 /85/ect etc and the car surges then it goes to 180 and it runs fine till the coolant temperature drops
this is driving me Nuts,I dont drive the car Much cause Im taking Good care of it so when i sell it someone else will get to enjoy My Z

coolant sensor is failing (sounds like), I can't imagine your actual temperatures being that low even if there was no thermostat.... not in the summer at least.
You do know you can read trouble codes on your DIC right? Post up the codes, we can go from there.

How To Check DTC Codes
1) Turn on the ignition, but don't start the engine.
2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages.
3) Press and hold "Options" and press "Fuel" 4 times within a 10 second period.
4) The computer will now scroll through all the modules, showing the error codes. Once it is done it will display "No More Codes" At any time you can scroll up and down to see each code by using the "Trip" and the "Options" buttons. Scroll to the component that has the code and press the "Gauges" button to view the code(s) numbers. To scroll through these code numbers, use the "Trip" and "Options" button again. Hold "Reset" to clear any codes. You can delete one code at time or all codes in any component.
5) Press the "E/M" button or shut off ignition key to end session
