Ford: 3.0L V6 temp unstable

    3.0L V6 temp unstable

    I have a1994 Aerostar with the V6 3.0L motor. My engine temp is very
    unstable, running between 205 and 235 with an NEW 180 degree thermostat
    installed.

    I have replaced in last several years, all hoses, water pump, radiator,
    thermostat several times, the fan clutch. Sometimes I see a swing from 150
    degrees to 250 degrees in just a few seconds.

    And not, I am not using the installed gauge, I have a mechanical temperature
    sensor installed.

    And ideas?

    ANYTHING AT ALL?

    Back up the readings with a different gauge. That way you will know for sure if
    it is the gauge or a cooling problem.

    The heat sometimes works and sometimes does not.

    How do I check or get rid of air lock?

    Well Sam, how do I know you installed it correctly? Typically, a cooling system
    does not change temps at the rate you describe. Meaning if it is an electrical
    system, you could have a bad ground or corrosion at the sender terminal. Maybe
    you used cheap connectors that are now electrically unsound? Seeing that it is a
    mechanical, how do I know if it is of good quality and installed correctly? Yes
    even a mechanical gauge can be installed incorrectly. How did I treat you with
    disrespect? The statement was and is too is the point and good advice. Don't
    like it? Well, it would seem to me that you are not capable to understand how to
    diagnose your problem, then take it to some one who does and pay them.

    I'm not sure what Thomas did wrong. It sounded like good advise to me. Keep
    up the good post Thomas.
