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

[Zach Leahy]

While air may be a culprit, this seems unlikely as the system has been
ticking along really well.  When your stat begins to stick it will
swing the gauge dramatically as well.  It goes way up, then when the
stat finally opens it drops back down quickly until the stat would
close up again.  Mine fluctuates a little, but I am gettign my real
temperature reading out of the coolant in the block, so I just
disregaurd it as the stat opening and closing.

What I was suggesting was that it's a 2 part problem.  1 the
thermostat sticks.  and 2 the temp gauge is reading too low and not
showing the temp as high as it really is.
