I noticed it after a shop installed a new clutch, which required the engine to be removed, coolant drained, etc., but nothing that should have affected how the gauge reads. Running on a cool day, temps were reading around 215-220 degrees. To ensure I wasn’t actually in danger of overheating, I checked various water-cooled locations with an infrared thermometer. Highest reading was right at the water neck/thermostat housing (191 deg F). The fuel gauge is reading accurately. I understand the under-dash instrument stabilizer can affect both instruments, but in this case, only one gauge is off. I plan to check the ground to the temp gauge and clean contact points at the engine sending unit and at the gauge. Any other suggestions? </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Thanks and I hope all is well out there!</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Graham Harlowe</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>B382001466</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
