during acceleration your engine is working harder and may cause the temp to go up slightly but, not much and, it should return to normal pretty quickly. If your temp is going up a lot and stays up you probably have a cooling system problem. First check to make sure you antifreeze level is correct. If not add coolant. If the problem persists you may have a stuck thermostat, a fan not coming on or worse case a blown head gasket.

How can I test the strength of a magnet?

To test the strength of a magnet, you can use a compass to see how strongly the magnet attracts or repels the needle. The stronger the magnet, the more the needle will move. You can also compare the magnet's ability to pick up metal objects of different weights to gauge its strength.


Can an object move without acceleration?

Yes. An object cannot begin to move without acceleration, but once it's moving, it needs no further acceleration to continue moving.


How does a speedometer needle move when a car is moving with constant velocity speeding up and slowing down?

When a car is moving with constant velocity, the speedometer needle will remain steady and point to a consistent speed. When the car speeds up, the needle will move clockwise to reflect the increase in speed. Conversely, when the car slows down, the needle will move counterclockwise to indicate the decrease in speed.


Why does a needle on a compass move?

A needle on a compass is a magnet, and it aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. This allows the needle to point towards the magnetic North Pole. The movement of the needle is a result of the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic properties of the needle.


How does a speedometer needle moves when a car is moving with constant velocity seeding up and slowing down?

When a car is moving with constant velocity, the speedometer needle will stay steady at a particular speed. When the car is accelerating, the needle will move clockwise indicating an increase in speed. When the car is decelerating, the needle will move counterclockwise indicating a decrease in speed.

The temperature needle does not want to move?

The temperature gauge sending unit might be bad. To check it find the sending unit on the side of the engine block (on most models) and pull the wire off and ground it with a piece of wire and have someone look at the gauge to see if it moves.


Why does your temperature gauge constantly move?

Because it is not securely fastened.


Why is it when your temperature gauge does not move you do not get heat when your gauge moves you get heat in your Ford Taurus?

The gauge does not cause the heat; it only shows what it is.


Indicator needle on the temperature gauge is stuck below the stop on the left side of the gauge how do you access the gauge to move it over to the right side of the stop?

Most times, it requires removing the entire dashboard and front of the car. Then popping out the glass is done by dismantling the dashboard drivers side of the car. Best to seek professional help on that.


How do you repair a 1986 Mazda B2000 water temperature gauge?

More than likely the gauge is NOT the problem.Just make a jumper wire and disconnect the sending unit wire from the water temperature sender and place one end in the connector and ground it to the block and the gauge should work or show say hot.If it does show the gauge show the needle in the hot it is the sender is faulty and should be replaced.If the gauge does show the needle move to hot and moves to the cold it will be the gauge is bad(not likely in most cases).Have a helper in the truck to turn the key to the ON position not running when you ground the sending wiring to the block to note wether it moves up to hot or down to cold when you do this to simplify the issue.I will bet the sending unit for the water temperature is just worn out most of the time.


Repairing an inoperative gas guage on a 1997 Buick Park Avenue. Needle stuck behind stopper pin?

Have fixed this issue many times... you need a STRONG magnet. Turn the ignition off, place the magnet over the gauge (on the clear plastic cover over the gauge cluster) on the end of the needle... it will react to the magnet and move when you move the magnet. Simply rotate the needle back into its proper position. Raise the magnet up... if it stays in the position, turn the ignition on... if your gauge is not broken, the needle should be reset and function properly.


When measuring blood pressure it is important not to allow the gauge to move faster than?

Ideally, the needle should move no faster or slower than two marks per second.


Why isn't the temperature gauge on my 2001 alero moving?

Idle the engine, remove the temp sensor wire on the engine and ground it. If the gauge does not move one can assume it has failed.


Why does the Temperature needle stays down when driving?

There are a couple of reasons this could occur.One could be that the temperature sender is defective and needs to replaced this is what makes the gauge on the dash show a reading.Two is if the temp sender is not defective then it could be a faulty gauge meaning the gauge needs to be replaced.Also a short in the wiring or bad connection can cause this.As long as you have normal heat temps when in the vehicle I would not think it is ur thermostat being bad.The only thing that may cause the needle to not be in the normal position is extreme cold but the gauge should show a reading.If the gauge does not move at all, I say it's more than likely the temp sender is bad in most cases.I would not rule out other issues but,most typical is the sending unit,and not the gauge or short or bad connection.I could elaborate on checking lots more but,this is alot to begin with.


On 87 300zx where is the wire that connects the thermostat to temperature gage Hope a loose wire and not thermostat no reading on thermostat gage after running for 30 minutes?

if i understand your question, no such wire exists. the thermostat is not electronic. it opens and closes when the temperature causes the spring to expand or contract. what seems to be worrying you may be no more than a coolant temperature sensor that has gone bad. if your car hasn't overheated in 30 minutes at idle, your thermostat is fine. hope this helps you. The wire that you are probably talking about goes from the temperature gauge to the temperature sending unit which is on the passenger side between the fuel injectors etc. If your gauge isn't working and it is the needle type you can pull the connector off of the sensor (make sure you get the right wire, it's a single) and have someone turn the ignition on as you hold the connector to ground, the needle should move all the way up...if not the gauge or wiring is bad. ...........
