I have 2002 Aurora with the same problem.
Yes it sure can.
It is to prevent the fuel from sloshing back and forth. Fuel sloshing can cause the fuel gauge to be erratic.It is to prevent the fuel from sloshing back and forth. Fuel sloshing can cause the fuel gauge to be erratic.
May be air in your cooling system. Unless you have a vacuum to put coolant in, it is very hard to get all the air out. It will cause your engine to heat up quickly and your temp gauge to be very erratic. If water is missing steam will cause that.
An inoperative temperature gauge will not alter how an engine runs, but the operator will not know if the water temperature has risen above normal without a properly working guage.
Assuming that the engine oil is at a constant pressure, look at the oil sending unit. A bad sending unit or loose wire connected to it can cause an erratic oil reading.
195 to 210 is normal
I have an 1995 Taurus with 3.0 L engine with an erratic temp gage. I found a cure by cleaning the connection where the wire plugs into the sensor on the engine & putting dielectric grease on it.
Most likely, the temperature gauge's connection is loose. It is usually on the thermostat. An inoperative temperature gauge will cause most check engine lights to come on.
It means at least one of the gauges is out of its normal range. The "check gauge light" is notifing you to take notice with either the engine temp gauge, the battery gauge or the engine oil pressure gauge.
i just put in a new radiator and now temperature gauge reads high but their are no leaks
Low coolant, check when engine is cold.
If your engine light comes on and your temp gauge is lower then normal. listen for cooling fans. if they are also running chances are you need a new thermostat
