It could be a number of things, but my first guess would be a faulty thermostat.
Thermostat
It is normal for a temperature gauge to go up a little bit until the thermostat opens up and the cooling fan comes on. As long as it is not going out of the normal temperature range it is fine.
Maybe you need a new therastat( think I spelled that wrong LOL) Have you check that?
the normally position of needle in temperature gage is a half of gage.
try replacing the thermostat
=A Gage is gun a 12 gage=
Fluctuations in the temperature gauge could indicate issues with the cooling system, such as low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a water pump problem. It's important to have the issue diagnosed and repaired promptly to prevent overheating and potential engine damage.
your thermostate needs to be replaced
Change the gage from high to low.
It depends want it wrong. Is it the gage or the float. The gage is easy you just take apart the dash and pop in the new one! The float couldn't tell ya that's in the gas tank and I'm not going to touch that!
The gage was a glove thrown down as a challenge to a combat or duel. The term was used by Shakespeare as synonymous with "throwing down the gauntlet".
The temperature gage on a 95 Civic can be located on the dash board, assuming this temperature gage is for the heat of the engine. It is usually located near the mileage.
