OT Auto coolant temp?
Recently bought a 1996 Taraus wagon to save wear and tear and gas on the Expedition. 3.0 V-6. Temp flucauates form lower end of normal to nearly overheating and then drops backs. Back and forth every 30 seconds to min. while driving. Added coolant as it was at the low. Sound like a temp sensor(s), fan relay, or air in the system? Or anyone know a good site to hit for station wagon tech? Thanks!

The coolant system has not been blead correctly.
The radiator is lower that the engine.
look around the water outlet and you will se a brass blead valve.
Open it with the radiator cap off and fill the engine with coolant.
Also the thermostate has a small bleed valve, if it has been replaced with a Autozone or cheep a** part they will not have it.
Your coolant system has a air lock.
