continual coolant temperature fluctuation
Prior to replacing a stuck open thermostat, my coolant temperature would generally stay at a specific number. However, after it's replacement, I've noticed my coolant temperature no longer stays constant. It will typically fluctuate between 172-176, changing every few seconds or so. Has anyone else experienced continual small variations in their coolant temps? Perhaps I still have a small amount of air in the system?

Thanks for the input, I've done this numerous times tho without any results. I too believe there is still air in the system, but at this point I'm not sure what else I can try.

my balt use to run like 187ish at all time when i first got it. i threw a CAI on it and now it runs colder when just sitting idleing like 167 and if i run it hard and then idle t will run like 197. im assuming i just need a tune for the CAI and it all will be good again. never really thought about this untill just now when i read your post.

i got air in mine too. it goes up and down 5-7 degrees in a matter of seconds. burped the system once and got rid of it, then it came back again so i said screw it... i think i need the actual purging device and i'm not spending any money on one of those to use it once
