Hi guys, got a strange problem with my standard dash temp gauge. just started today i noticed my temp gauge jumping around when i rev. It evans goes past the red, but the car is def not over heating. When i switch the car off & just turn the key till the lights come on i get the true temp reading but after starting the car the gauge starts jumping around. mostly when i rev.
Anybody come across the same problem.

We saw that on my car on the dyno.
But....when I accelerated the temp gauge went down as my revs climbed up.
