Engine Cooling problem

My temperature gauge in my recently purchased Honda Accord 1992 fluctuates a lot according to speed. It will rise rather high, not into the red but up there, then it will drop back down. The rhyme and reason behind it seems to be involved with whether it is in a higher gear while driving in the city, or a lower gear while driving in the city. It will go up on the highway, but not as high as when stopped and idling. Coolant is full with mixture of water and coolant (mostly coolant) and there doesn't appear to be any leaks. Suggestions?

Hi,

Looks like you have a weak water pump or clogged water passage.

If the engine is not overheating but the gauge is not accurate, then it can be a faulty gauge or a loose earthing point.
