The stock coolant/water temp sensor stays centered most of time (b/w C and H...more towards C. You will never know if your car is about to overheat...!)and doesn't bounce from what I know...only the oil pressure does the bouncing. If you don't have an aftermarket water temp gauge..I highly suggest getting one...may be one of your best mod/investments ever for an FD. There are a lot of topics on coolant llight going off/on..check it out via search.

Use the FSM (Factory Service Manual):


https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/94-fsms-available-download-449950/

It gives you procedures on how to test sensors and the t-stat.
