I see in your sig that you have a swapped SR20, I'm guessing the car was originally a GA16? Have you always had problems with the coolant temp gauge?
Also pardon my ignorance on the swap but which gauge cluster are you using SR20 or GA16?

It's very intermittent, that's what makes this frustrating. yes car was orig a ga16, the swap was done 10 years ago. Not always a problem, the cluster is orig from the ga. but I have the GLE model Sentra which is identical to the 2.0 excluding the mph and redline on the tach.
I wonder if I just unplug the sending unit wire if this will help the drive-ability of the car until I can track the problem down. I know the car is running normal temp.
