87 cherokee, converted to open system and has a HO block so the temp gauge sender was moved up to the T-stat housing. My temp gauge will rise normal, and then proceed to move up and down anywhere from 170 up to a little past 210. The temp rises and falls faster when im at highway speeds, and barely creeps when im at a stand still. These are the readings I get with a new sender...the old sender did the same thing, but would read from 150 to about 200 max. I have a new radiator, water pump, now all new sensors, rad. cap and thermostat. Ive actually been through about 3 thermostats and 2 caps...Im about to beat my head agains a wall!! I thought that maybe it was due to the relocation of the temp sender directly in front of the T-stat, but it never used to do this until recently. Ive even replaced the wire from the sensor up to the firewall because it looked kinda worn and ugly. There are no visible leaks, no coolant missing (nothing in the oil), it seems to build pressure fine, and the heater works like a charm...I just cant figure out the gauge. Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas?
