some character faults with your model ,To check the obvious , first relays ,voltageregulator/stabilizer unit near dash cluster /dry solder / top ofthe ecu near battery often people lean on it gawking into engine bay , damage to the plug in /bond terminals/as for the aircon side /temp related , who knows!or some have fitted driving lightsextra to more probsadded,a good sparky should go straight to it , good luck with it. ps , google is your friend ;) the diagnostic codes would prob only point to a system in question only not a specific fault , with from what you have briefly described.

i have 92 calias, same prob, from time to time both fuel and temp gauges stay at bottom of dial, a tap on the clear plastic above each gauge sometimes will make them move,reading on aussie forums common prob, due to solder on wires on back of gauges!

yep my 94 ss does it. The temp goes right up to hot then goes back down to where it should be . I shat my self the first time it happened was just driving along and just happened to look down and thought that looks a little high. Then it was in the red i pulled over and checked it and was fine. it does it quite offten

lol must be common. my 96 SS did the same, temp went thru the roof then back down. checked but it was not overheating.

Temp sensor or the sender ,both near thethermostat .Fit new thermostat as well, check or replace with new .

The temp needle sticky prob, where the needle sometimes dosn't move or rises & stops below normal, The other prob rising very hot & dropping back are apparently two different fixes , I know this from the last 3 commodores I had&the ones ive worked on, good luck

fixed ! module crapped its self, does temp gauge/fuel and rely for starter motor hence the intermittent working starter, took GM agent 3days to fine

Hey Gunhand, come on over to the darkside, you too could spend great hair pulling time looking for this type of fault. You know you want too lol

Thats why we have smart people like you who find these faults quickly, not 3 days.

Hey mate , yas not going to get a quick fix in here but maybe a few ideas , just take it into an auto electrical workshop to sort it. first check number 7 fuse in fuse box (corrosion).

Temp sensor or the sender ,both near thethermostat .Fit new thermostat as well, check or replace with new . Before going to the dry solder at panel.In fact while on cooling , check water pump flow , reverse flush system (garden hose is ok) , service & condition,fit inhibitor /antifreeze,most of any problems are picked up in the basic service. or the service averts other potential probs.read the aussie Holden forums that may help , iftaking it to a service centre is out the question, cheers
