[Shotimes] Problem - My '95 MTX runs really rough when the en gine temperatur e goes up.

[Paul Nimz]

Personally with rapid fluctuations in the temp gauge I would suspect air in
the cooling system.  If the gauge is bad or it's sender, the reading would not
be doing wide range fluctuations.  It would be reading consistently high or
low.  This assuming the wiring is OK.
