WEll i have a 95 chevy caprice. the temp gauge is going nuts.. 99% of the time it'll seem off and stay at 0 degrees. every once in awhile it'll kick all the way to the red "HOT" and my dash has a light that says "check gauge"... i crank the heat to see if its really really hot.. "it isn't" then it'll randomly turn off.. no harm.. NOW i just want it fixed. I already replace the temp sensor "like a brass lookin spark plug" but it didn't fix it... any ideas ??
