Hi,
I am having a problem with the cooling of the engine. When the car is Idiling, the temperature gauge remains in the middle, where it belongs. When I am driving in cold temperatures, 35 F and below, the gauge falls to the cold side, even bottoming out in the cold position. I checked the fill tank for the anit-freeze and it is at the full line. I am handy and can do the fix myself, if I knew what it could be. Thanks, Mark "Driving Cold" Compton.

Mark, it sounds like the engine therostat is stuck open. It should be in the housing where the upper radiator hose attaches to the motor. Hope this helps.
