yay, i think i've finally fixed my EA's fuel starved problem by running a bottle of injetor cleaner through the fuel. Now one more problem that I need to alleviate. When i've been driving for about 15 minutes more or less, the temperature guage will move from the middle down to cold, and the temperature light will come on, sometimes it will continually flicker up and down, then might stay on cold for 10 minutes, then maybe go back up to the middle for a while. What could causing this problem? obviously my engines temp wouldn't be fluctuating like this, could it be a faulty guage?

Give your battery turminals a going over with a wire brush and see if that helps, thats all i did and it was fine after that im not too sure about the wiring looms in the dash? Hope this helps
