Hey guys I have a question for you. As you can see, I have a 1993 Chrysler Lebaron LE with that 3.0 V6 SOHC. When I bought it, it had a case of old people abuse(not run hard but neglected). I slowly replaced parts (Radiator, water pump, tensioner, all the hoses and belts, engine coolant temp sensor, thermostat). There is one problem left. My engine temp is always all over the place. I start my car up and the temp gets past the 2/3 mark and cools down really quickly and does that over and over again. at first I thought it was becasue it was a cheap thermostat, I went to Chrysler Center and payed $23 for one. It still does it. Please help.

I know that its not a headgasket problem. I think that it might be the radiator cap. Im gonna replace that tomorrow and keep you gusy updated. thanks guys.

I tired replacing the radiator cap but that didnt work. I talked to some guys at the Chrysler Center and they said that it might be bubble(s) in the system. that can do it. if its not that, its a head gasket.
