Temp Gauge misbehaving!! 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be billy dee on  Fri Aug 23 14:46 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Over the last two weeks, my temp. gauge has been REALLY slow getting to 3'oclock!
Before it would get to 3 O'C in about 2-3mins, if it was the first start for the day. Now it takes about 10-15mins. Since it's summer, I would expect it to get up to operating temp. sooner. Sometimes after 4-5mins of waiting, i would just rev the engine to about 3000rpm and it raises the gauge sooner. Is my thermostat gone? a bad valve or something?? Thanks for all responses, D
