I have a '97 Contour v4. The temperature gauge is between R an d M at speeds 50 and above. At low speeds and stop-and-go traffic the needle goes between A and L, but never crosses L.
I think it is related to coolant level, I got coolant flushed three months ago and now the level has droped to minimum. Probably a coolant leak.

BTW why does the coolant drop to minimum level but never goes beneath the minimum level ?

regards,
