Yes... I explained it in detail in another post where I inquired about flushing, heater core etc. Basically, I have seen 3 specific instances in which the needle stayed around the 4 to 4:30 position rather than rising to the 3:00 position, and that over the course of the last 3,000 miles (I just bought the car used).

The last time this happened with the Temp guage, I simply pulled over, turned the car off, waited about 30 seconds, and restarted the car - to which the temp guage went back to the 3:00 position (a good tip for preventing excessive wear until one has time to make repairs).

Thanks for your input. It affirms my instincts... just wanted to check, 'cause ya never know!
