Not sure what the deal is. It only comes on in the morning on the way to work. The coolant is full, and don't see any leaks. Engine temperature never passes the middle of the gauge. Whats the deal here, a bad sensor or somethin?

I dont know about your car, but the fox bodies seem to always have that problem. I believe the problem is the sensor.

yeah you gotta clean off the sensor, they are piees of shit especially in the 94-95 models. My 95 used to stay on constant. Just check it on occasion to make sure it's not telling the truth [patriot]

Clean the terminals at the end of the coolant OVERFILL RESERVOIR cap that lead to the bottom of the RESERVOIR and the underside of the overfill cap. That'll fix the problem, gunk gets built up at the bottom of the reservoir over time.

Thanks fellas, I will do that the second I get back from work. Any reason why this would happen only in the morning?
