So, recently I replaced the thermostat since my engine barely reached half way temperature and was going up and down a lot.
Now with the thermostat replaced, it reaches halfway on idle in about 10 min and a tiny bit above halfway when driving for 5-10 min. But when it's reaches halfway, it quickly drops down to about 1/4th of the gauge.
And then randomly it goes back up to a little over halfway, and can stay there for about 5 min after dropping again depending on driving speed.
Any ideas what it could be? I had a 89 degree thermostat and replaced it with a new 89 degree one.
Could it be the gauge itself?
