Re: Water Temp Gage Erratic???

I didn't read earlier how fast your guage is bouncing around, but if it is really moving around a lot, even a slow temperature change over as long as say ten seconds, that's an electrical problem, either a ground or hot contact issue.

The response time of the electro-thermal conductor is not that fast. It isn't, because it doesn't need to be. So it isn't made to change much faster than coolant would when being heated and cooled in the engine. So any jumping around has to be by an electrical electrical problem.
