I recently flushed my radiator and changed the thermostat. Now the temperature gauge is reading higher. It moves up to about 3/4, and falls back down to the half mark and stays there. The engine doesn't seem to be terribly hot. What could this be?

Hi adawudi,

Most probably you have not bled the system of air properly.

Check radiator coolant level when cold, top up if necessary.
