Thanks for any help in advance.
I've got a 1998 Cherokee sport with the guage package. In the past, the temp guage has always topped out a 210 and has always been steady. once the engine was warmed up. Just recently, I noticed that after warming up, it now sits at about 150. I know the engine is reaching operating temps, and on cold days the heater works just fine. I also noticed that sometimes, when I'm driving down the road or sometimes even sitting at a stop light, the temp guage will slowly move up to 210, then drop to 200, them back to 210, the drop to 150, sporaticly moving up and down. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.
I'm assuming that most likely it's the temp sending unit, so I thought I might replace that. Does anyone have any other ideas, or something else I might consider? I know where the temp sensor is on the 96 and older renix engines, is it in the same place on the newer models?
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
