What to do if your radiator temperature gauge keeps falling?
if the air blows the same in both schemes, but the gauge still falls, remove the thermostat, ad drill a small hole thru it, max 1/8″. Yhis will allow a small amout of water to pass thru so that the radiator water will be warming up, and when the thermostat opens, the inrush of cold water will not be as severe.
What do you mean by temperature gauge is fluctuating?
Temperature gauge is fluctuating, sometimes showing overh… Q: Temperature gauge is fluctuating, sometimes showing overheating.
What should I do if my temperature gauge starts to rise?
Start off and head toward a highway. Have the heat on HI, with the fan just enough ON so you can feel it. Then watch your gauge and air temp as the car warms up. the air should get warm in just a minute, before the gauge starts to rise. The, as the gauge rises, the heat will stabilize at HOT. then, if the gauge falls, what happens to the air temp?
What causes a car’s temperature gauge to dip and rise?
If you are referring to the dip and rise as indicated by the temp. gauge, this is completely normal. There is a thermostat in the head which controls the coolant movement. When the water/coolant heats to a set temperature, such as 75 degrees C, a wax pellet expands the valve in the thermostat, and cooler water is passed into the head.

What does intermittent mean on car temperature gauge?
The code indicates that a wire from the engine coolant temperature sensor, is shorting to ground, or open, somewhere. Of course, “intermittent” means: sometimes. The engine computer, in response, turns on the engine cooling fans, to lower the reported hot engine coolant temperature.
