alright we all know that once our temp gauge gets to regular temp it doesn't move......atleast mine did....but now it goes up above the temp sign on the gauge....or about a quarter inch from the H....it never hits the H though....and after a while it goes back down to the middle or normal spot like its cooling off...is this something i should be worried about or since it doesn't go to the hot i shouldn't worry...could this be a sign that my thermo. is going out or what.......anyone else delt with this..

Are you talking about your stock gauge? There are a couple of things it could be. 1st check the coolant level when the car is cold.

Could be the thremostat or the water pump. Is the water pump the original and how many miles are on the engine. The water resivor shouildn't be "full" .....

I'd get an autometer temp gauge. Mine moves between 190 and 210 quite a bit. I think it's worth it if you want more accurate readings. As for the stock one, mine never moved either and one day just stayed right in the middle never to be moved again. I think it's shit!
