I have had it go to halfway ONCE, when the e-fan quit working, and the Haltech sensor was reading 230 degrees.......
Moral of the story,,. the stock gauge is NOT linear and IS a piece of junk. If its going to halfway at idle, either its busted, or your car is running WAY to hot.
You need to put a real water temp gauge in that thing.

I am looking into doing this myself. I searched and found nothing on installation. Also the average price I find for the autometer ones are about $60 each does that seem right. I'm tired of wondering if the stock gauges are reading correctly and hopefully can spot a problem before its too late.
