My girlfriend drives a 93 accord auto w/ 115,000 miles and it just had a waterpump change. when we are at a still the gauge sometimes go to the normal line but when we pull off it goes down to COLD like below the line. what could this be?

 

Possible the thermostat is sticking. At any rate I would check all hoses while your at it and check coolant level. Hope this helps.

 

i checked all the coolant lines and everything is ok, the coolant is ok too. how would i find out if the thermostat is stuck on open?

 

Take it out and see, I don't know of any other tricks, but usually a tell tale sign is when your temp guage fluctuates.

 

ok, i'll check it tomorrow, thank you soooo much. but i have to admit her car even though its auto and has so many miles, when you stomp on it it GOES, unlike my civic. thanks again man

Might wanna try backflushing the radiator. I've done that to a couple friends cars, you wouldn't believe the **** that comes out sometimes.
