water temp

hey, i just recently noticed that when i start up my car, my water temp gauge (stock) needle doesnt automatically move. if im driving for a few minutes, it finally moves to the middle, normal temperature. i do have those custom guages from speedhut that had to have been trimmed a little because of restrictions. does anyone know what a prob could be?

I have the same problem with my gas/oil pressure and I have the speedhut gauges. Ive tried to fix it to no avail, I do belive there is an adjustment screw either next to the gauge or behind it. When I installed the speedhut gauges on my BMW there was a small adjustment screw right next to the needle. When i get back to my house Ill let you know, i have a diagram somplace.

Your water temp when you start the car is cold. The gauge shouldn't read anything until it warms up... are you sure there is a problem?

it never did that before. before i had them in, it always moved on ignition. when i first had them installed, the needle didnt move at all so i got them trimmed, now it does it when it wants to lol
