Erratic Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge gets to 160 degrees and drops back to 155 degrees. It then repeats the process never reaching the normal 200 - 210 degrees. At first I thought it was a stuck thermostat but after replacing the thermostat and coolant, the temperature gauge is still indicating 155 - 160 degrees. Any ideas what to look for or am I back at goodwrench's shop? :confused: Thanks for your replies, Don

Nope, it's the stock 175 degree thermostat. The gauge read perfectly (200 -210 degrees) for the first four years then went haywire. My guess is a sensor, but I thought I'd see if others agree or disagree. Thanks for the reply, Don :flag

Re: Erratic Temperature Gauge (Lil Red)
You might be right about the 190 - 195 degree thermostat. I just know the thermostat was and is stock. Where is the sensor located? Thanks, Don :flag
