I just recently bought a 2002 explorer sport with about 50K on it. Drove it for a week with no problems. First I noticed the gas gauge one day go way down below "E" and the check gauge light appeared. I kept an eye on it, and eventually it climbed back to half a tank. Im think, Ok, Maybe a bad fuel sending unit. Then the other day, the temp gauge went all the way up past "H" by about a 1/4 inch, the fuel gauge did the same thing as last time, and the battery gauge went below "L" by a 1/4 inch. I pulled over, the engine was barely warmed up, so I checked the radiator cap to make sure, not even hot yet. I get back in, the check gauge light flashed and all gauges went back to normal. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks,
Nate
