temperature gauge acting strange
recently, my 2004-3.0QA's temperature gauge has been acting strangely. After a cold start, the gauge sits at "cold" for a while, then jumps to 1/4 in a few seconds. then it drifts fairly quickly to 1/2 and then is stable at that point. is this the way other folks' gauges behave?

Re: sounds normal to me
well, it isnt overheating, so it's not a worry - just different. it used to sit on cold for a while, and then climb steadily to midgauge. now it jumps from cold to 1/4 with nothing inbetween.

sounds normal....can vary with how hard you drive your car or how much you idle
when you first drive it in the morning. The engine needs to warm up and of course it doesn't always warm up smoothly.
