Erratic temp gauge - read FAQ's - a bit confused ...?? 700 1992

The temp gauge on my 92 745T has been straight up forever. Today on the freeway it went about half way back over toward cold. Yikes !! - I pulled off - checked coolant - all OK - nothing leaking.

Get off freeway for gas - back to the center she goes - while in street traffic. Back on interstate - leans back to the left. It is somewhat cool today, just for info.

Read the FAQ's - mentions about this having an effect on fuel injection ?? - maybe two sensors under the manifold. I am pretty sure that mine only has one.

Car is running pretty good - in fact today it really seemed to be in it's element - having good power on the highway. It does seem to be a bit erratic in the idle department - especially when the electric cooling fan comes on. That may be another issue.

Thanks for any and all help

By the way - I did do a head gasket a month back - no real probems.
