2001, 4.0, AW4, 4x4, 191,000 miles. After driving long enough to reach normal operating temp, between 195-205, if I shut it off long enough to go get a cup of coffee, when I restart it the gauge stays at the first line past 100. Sometimes while driving it will quickly go up to normal operating temp for a few minutes, then quickly fall back to the first line past 100. It did it tonight on my way home from the store, I popped the hood and just wiggled the connector on the sensor that goes into the thermostat housing and the gauge immediately went back to normal operating temp. I assume that's the coolant temp sensor. Is that most likely my problem?
