while driving today, engine warmed up and i realized it was very close to H at one point. since i have a small coolant leak, i figured i was maybe low on coolant. got back in and drove some more. the needle when idle was at or above h. while going from a stop through the gears, the needle went down a little, but still not at the normal spot. Can anyone tell my why the needle is jumping around? also, nothing smelled funny and it didnt run any different than normal, my only guess would be a sensor
 
Dude - there are NO small coolant leaks at 200 degrees & 13 PSI ! - Tighten your ass up & repair the damn leak before you blow a Head Gasket you are obviously incapable of repairing!
 
wow. you OBVIOUSLY guessed that i didnt already order a new radiator and that i havent already drained the coolant and taken the old radiator out. You also didnt attempt to anwser my question which im still quessing is the temp sensor. if your trying to be a dick tho, your kicking ass!

The answer to YOUR POST above is FIX THE LEAK - Exactly how are we supposed to figure out you fixed your small coolant leak - HOW? Vulcan mind meld thru the monitor maybe? No thanx! ............
Change your Thermostat AND fix your leaks...
 
i didnt come here to start a war with anyone, just trying to figure out WHY it was doing that. simple anwser, thermostat...
