my temp gauge is bouncy/????

[91accorddxbuds]

hey everyone

yesterday i was driving as normal, and i notice my temp gauge was not working right. it was bounceing around and seem to be like weightless, every time i hit a bump it would just hoop up and what not,

any idea?

nothing acting wierd on the car besides this and it didnt throw any cels?

Time for a new temp gauge? Because if you hit a bump and it goes up then the needle is loose.

Thermostat,and its located where your lower coolant hose goes into the block.On a scale of 1-10,its maybe a 2.

i changed mine thermostat already and its still bouncy so ill try the wire thing i guess....


and yea make sure you get the gaskets for the thermostat and make sure you wait for the car to cool down cuz radiator fluid will go everywhere

check to make sure your temp sensor is good too.

thanks so much for that pic, that is too nice of u to post thanks

and yes i just bought a new one and i will install it when the car cools down, will any fluid come out , when i unscrew those 2 bolts and take off that piece?

Alot of coolant will come out.Make sure before you do it to buy some coolant to replace all that will be lost.Also i'd put something under it to catch the coolant so it doesn't get all over everything.

and also remember to bleed the system when your done putting the new one in. The bleeder valve is on the thermostat housing. open it when filling until fluid comes out then close it.

ok the bleeder valve???

where is that ? and what do i do?
