Hey everyone,

I'm posting this for a friend of mine who is having problems with his '94 Aerostar:

"I'm seeing a problem with my van! The cooling system gauge never quite reaches top center. When it almost does, it starts dropping down to cold, then gradually climbs back up and does this all over again. Interestingly, the heater temps don't exactly correspond to the gauge. The ambient temperatures vary about two minutes behind what I see on the gauge.

I've heard of sticky thermostats, but this one is obviously not sticking open, or shut. What do you think could be the problem? I need to fix it before it gets too cold out."

I've heard that this could be a sign of the waterpump failing. True? The only problem I have ever had with my Aerostars is that on one of my '92s (the short one) the temp guage almost never moves. Thanks in advance!
