    same thing happend to my car. when i run the a/c, the temp goes down since all the fans go on. when i leave them off, it stays at the middle or a little bit higher. i think all i need to do is flush and fill.... most likely you are on the same boat.

    to me it seems like the factory temp gauge has 3 settings. cold. normal and overheating. the factory temp gauges isn't really that accurate.

    mines does not fluctuate much. its always below the middle. Id say that if it is going over the middle for any reason:

    Check fan switches are working.
    Flush the system.
    put in a new thermostat
    cross fingers.

    maybe the temp sensor is going bad.

    Mine did the same thing I only added some coolant and all was fine.
