Do you have a question?
NO
Hi so that is about right once you under stand what is happening. The thermostat opens and shuts till the engine is hot completely.
Have you even taken the radiator cap off to see if there's coolant in the radiator?!
If you have coolant replace the damn thermostat and run the motor for 20 minutes with the radiator cap off to purge all the air from the cooling system.

- Honda accord temp gauge showing hot? I have a 97 honda accord and the temp gauge has been running hot. Its not low on oil, coolant, water, ect. In the mornings when about 50 to 60 or less it does not have a problem and runs normal but in the afternoon when its 70 plus it wants to get hot. It fluctuates when stopped at a red light it gets worse and then droving kind of cools it down. Any ideas
