WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
actually, i dont know why it would do that, but my guess would be a bad connection somewhere. probably going into the water temp sensor, located in the thermostat housing. or it could be the sensor its self

still could be a bad thermostat, or like stated above could be the sending unit or connection.
i replaced my thermostat in my escort GT twice before it worked. i also had to replace the thermostat in my MX3. it is a common thing to fail and sometimes are defective right out of the box, good thing they are easy to replace (at least when it isn't really cold outside).
