Well I will bring this thread up to the top bcz I seem to be having the same problem.
Car was running warm (according to factory gauge). Bled the system and there were some small burps....so good thing I did it. Replaced the temp sender for the fans......just to be sure.
I was about to replace the thermostat.....but I took the car for a quick drive to see how it did after the above changes. The gauge will rise to below the upper white line....never cross it. BUT.....hitting a good bump and even shifting...the needle will fly all over the place (down actually.....to where I am use to seeing the needle sit) and end back up below the white line.
Ground issue for the gauge? I suppose this may also solve why my speedo doesn't pick up until 20mph? What are the steps to take?
Thanks a lot guys!!!
