This is really odd. My Fuel and temp gauge are very inaccurate. I will start the car in the early morning after sitting all night in near freezing temps, start down the road, then within about 2 miles, the temp is in the red zone. It will hang there for about 5 minutes, then drop down to the half way. Sometimes, it will jump back and forth, over and over. It never seems to be reading right. It has only actually over heated once, but that was in 90 degree heat, in traffic, when my fan didn't cycle(which is fixed). The rest of the time it will just hang in the red, never over heating. It does this all the time, regaurdless of the weather, temp, or time of day. My fuel gage jumps around too, but not as much. I noticed the other day, they where moving together, following each other's moves! This is starting to bother me. I want to know what temp my car is running, so I need this fixed. For fuel, I've been using the onboard computer, and not the gauge. This seems to be more accurate.
Thanks,
Courtney
