intermittent high temperature reading on B18C1
i have a 97 civic with a gsr swap. CTR guage cluster. this happened yesterday, the car was fully warmed up and reading normal temp... then all of sudden the temp guage went to 3/4 and stayed, then sharply fell back to 1/2... it did this a few times, and seemed as though i could almost control the temperature guage by the movement of the vehicle, ( sharp decelleration would cause it to go back to normal range).... coolant level is at full and the wiring and sensor physically looks good... anyone else with a similar experience, or maybe some insight?

the engine isnt overheating... this is an electrical fault somewhere... engine temp doesnt rise and drop this fast...

im leaning more towards thermostat like everyone else here. i believe your t-stat is sticking.

Re: intermittent high temperature reading on B18C1
most likely its ur t-stat..it is either staying open or staying closed..i had the same problem where my car would be in normal operating temp. and when i start driving it would creep down as if the engine was cold..changed the t-stat and fixed
