Hi all.
I have an issue where my temp needle goes up after cranking up the car. After driving, I'd cut off, then maybe 5 minutes later i turn the key, and the needle goes up......then comes back down. sometimes it just stays in the middle when I crank it up. after cranking up, the fan kicks in within 10 seconds and the needle will gradually come down (sometimes slower than others). When I tried to ask a guy at autozone he mentioned something about open and closed loop. was he talking about the tstat? could this be the issue? I noticed this about a week ago, and when i checked the water level, it was pretty much empty. this morning the level was normal.
