My engine temp gauge is broken. It is always in the blue zone. All other gauges work fine. What could be at fault (suspect thermostat)? Is it something easy to fix/install?

Probe the temp. sensor with a multimeter which is behind the thermo-time switch on the thermostat housing (the one with two individiual prong connectors). Bentley outlines how to test it. If the temp is the only inop. gauge on the cluster, then it isn't your SI batteries - whew! Easy swap - try a junkyard first. Do you have a Bentley?
