Hey Guys,
I have a question about my temp. gauge. When starting from cold, as it warms up while driving, it slowly works its way up towards the 195 mark, then it will keep climbing up to about 220 - 225 for only a few seconds, then it suddenly drops way back down to about 130 until it reaches about 185 where it usually stays. I'm wondering why it spikes & then drops suddenly? It doesn't overheat at all. The aux. fan kicks in at about 220. I wired it up to where I can manually turn on the fan & it still has the ability to kick on when it's supposed to if i'm not paying attention. Anybody else experienced this? Just wondering before I spend $15 on a new sending unit to see if it fixes it. Oh yea, it's a 91, 4.0, auto, 4-door, if it matters.
Thanks
