It seems the temp will rise quickly than BEFORE especially when sitting on Traffic or Drive Inn at fast food chains but once the car starts moving it goes back to between O & R. Is this normal? TIA for any help. Roland 98 SvT WiTh StUfF

The dash gauge is horribly inaccurate (that's why there are no numbers on it). As long as it doesn't go into the red, you are fine. 1998 Silver Frost SVT Contour born on...8/28/01[/i] American Iron Shootout Radial Tire 2 Class Champion, Cecil County Dragway April 20, 2002
