prize for the right answer TEMPERTURE FLUCTUATIONS 0N 95 CIVIC-
I have a 1995 Civic. I've noticed that recently, the temperture gauge goes
from just under half way to sometimes 3/4 while I am driving. It goes up for a few minutes then goes back down again. This cycle continues throughout the driving and usually starts about 20 minutes into the drive. I had the cooling system pressure tested and the radiator's flow checked and all seems to be fine. What could this be? Could the thermostat be going? Thank you all in advance! |

Change the thermostat. It is not operating properly.

Your cooling fans are not working as should be. The two fans come on
independent of each other. The same thing happened to me a while back. There is a heat sensor/relay that needs to be replaced. Question-Does both fans come on when you turn on the AC?? Start with cool car Open hood start motor observe fans turn on AC both fans should be on *** In normal operations when temp reaches a set temp one fan comes on, if temp keeps going up (hot summer day/stuck in traffic) in other words, no unaided air flow, when temp reaches higher preset temp the other fan comes on. It sounds to me as your lower temp sensor fan is not coming on. When the higher temp is reached the fan comes on, cools things down and turns off. Temp rises to lower setpoint fan 1 should come on but does not, temp rises more, fan 2 comes on. Then the cycle repeats.
