i have a tacho out of a honda accord (4cyl) and like most tachos, it has a trimpot on the side you can adjust to set it to wherever u want.
i just hooked it up, made sure the engine was revving at about 750 according to the 4cyl tacho and then just turned the trimpot with a screwdriver til it was showing 1000
not perfect but shows u whats going on

According to Tez's diagram Normaly it's stay's on (c) area while driving but when at traffic lights it slowly get's to the (d) area. I got the symtem flushed but still the same thing.......
How olds the radiator courierguy? Sounds like it's time to start looking at it and the cooling hoses, how old are they?

Given that the factory temp gauge is randomly inaccurate I would suggest replacing the sensor and installing a decent aftermarket electrical temp gauge. It is the best way to be sure that what you're experiencing is overheating and not a fault with the factory gauge.
