Temp Needle Jumpy

[TunnelFear]

When I first turn her on in the morning or after sitting for a long while, and start driving down the road, the temp needle starts climbing as the engine heats up, all the way to just past the L in NORMAL. After holding there for a few seconds, it drops back down to just below the N and sits there the rest of the time I drive, no matter how far etc, etc, etc. This has been happening for awhile now, but just remembered to ask about it...any suggestions?

Sounds like symptoms of a bad t-stat.

Looks like I take a gander at the t-stat, thanks

Just noticed your locale EXFORCE4.0, can you recommend any good hotels in Gettysburg? I'm planning on taking a 2 day trip down there in a few weeks

I really dont have any experience with any of them but I dont think you can go wrong with any of them. There is a couple new ones on RT 30 east of town. May I ask why your coming here? just curious.

I just love the area. I dated a girl who went to school there for a semester, so I was down there regularly. Started walking around and just fell in love with the history of the place, haven't been there in about 4 years though, so decided it was time to head back down
