Re: Bad thermostat or coolant temp sensor?
Low coolant can cause the gauge bounce into the red zone--
But if you still want to change thermostat- it can be a PITA- with that exhaust crossover pipe in the way. The service manual says to remove it, but I have gotten around it before- can take a while, - but you need to know where the coolant is going... I'd be looking at the first drips that come out of that oil pan on next oil change (soon).
