Try cleaning the Idle air control valve. I am sure that there is a "how to" on this forum.

It does and I will do. But what are you thinking? I assume the coolant temp sensor also affects the dash guage? If so, that slowly goes up to just under half and stays there. It doesn't move. Or is that reading taken from a different sensor? But I'll check...
No, the K series has two coolant temp sensors, a blue one for the dash gauge and a brown (Mems 1.9 or Mems 2.0) or a black one for Mems 3.
Do not use the wrong one, it will give false readings.
If you look at the OBD data it will show the reading from the ECU (brown or black) sensor which is the one the ECU uses to adjust fuelling.
