I just changed the thermostat (the old one was stuck open) on my 96' Explorer. The temperature gauge will fluctuate now, getting pretty hot then dropping kinda cold. It will stabilize after you drive for a while. There is so much coolant that I think this is a way to get it all warmed up? I'm not sure, I used to have a Honda. I do know that the Exploder is running better, getting better mileage- so everything seems to be fine.
What else can I help you with?
What causes temperature gauge to flucuate?
Temperature gauge fluctuations can be caused by issues such as a faulty thermostat, low coolant level, air pockets in the cooling system, a malfunctioning temperature sensor, or a failing water pump. It is important to address these issues promptly to prevent potential damage to the engine.
