Temperature Fluctuates.... help

[lestah]

My temp goes above normal but not into the red zone then comes back down to normal... i think it goes back to normal once the radiator fan starts. what do u think is wrong? can i be the temp sensor f**ked up or what?

here's some of the things you can do to see if it'll help

bleed your cooling system
new thermastat
check your oil to see if it's low

and if those don't work then i guess you'll have to get a new radiator

but hey, get it checked first to see if you can save some money though. don't just buy a radiator and put it on.

when does this happen? idle, driving? it matters when exactly it heats up, and when it cools down (ie: heats at idle, then when you drive it goes down, could be water pump
