Temp Gage Is Nervous
It jumps to high as a self test when starting the car.
If youre saying it never moves above cold when youre driving awhile, the sender, or wiring to it, is bad.

Re: water temp gauge
You can test your wiring by grounding the temp sensor wire against the engine block. If the gauge pegs at over 260 degrees then your wiring is fine and its a sensor issue. If, while grounded, the gauge still doesn't want to move... its a wiring issue.
