I would find a parts store and see if they have a digital thermometer to lone you. Check the temp. at the thermostat housing. If they do not then pick up a thermometer to stick in the radiator when the temp. appears to be rising. Be very careful when popping the radiator cap so as to not get burned. Just loosen it to the safety catch first. Use a rag or towel to place over the cap.The compensating board that controls the temp. gauge is a known problem for erratic gauge readings. Please remember that you can get serious burns from the coolant. Hope this helps. Larry
