Anyways, where does the temp guage needle sit in your cars. On mine it reads below the 'normal' area on the cold side. On my SVT it sits right in the middle. Just not sure if all Zetecs read that low, or do I have a prob with the temp sensor? Dont want the thing to run hot and I not know it. eek thanks in advance.

Your gauge is whack. Rev your engine up in park and if it doesn't move up to atleast the middle, than you need a new gauge or sensor. Just in case you might want to drain/flush/change your coolant unless you're gonna get the gauge fixed soon. Like I've always said, the 96 GL ATX zetecs are much better than the SVTs. :p :p
