OK, I have been having some cooling problems so I went ahead and put new of the following:
Water Pump
Thermostat
Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses
Fan
New Coolant
Now here is the odd problem that I can't seem to find in the searches. My engine takes a long time to reach operating temp (Needle at the N) but it continues to slowly rise. For example, the temp gauge rises then falls a little bit, then rises more, and fall a little bit and this process continues over and over again. After about 30 min of driving, its the M or the A. God knows how fall it would go if I didn't shut it down. I am a little stumped. Any suggestions?
