Hi there. The temperature gauge fluctuating between halfway and hot, at stops, is most likely the radiator cooling fan(s) is inoperative. This could be caused by a blown fan fuse, a faulty cooling fan relay, a faulty cooling fan switch, and/or possibly a faulty cooling fan(s) motor. The cooling fan(s) are designed to come on with a/c engagement and turning on the a/c system, you should hear and see the radiator fan(s) turn on. Proper diagnoses should be performed to avoid unnecessary repairs. I recommend having your vehicle’s temperature gauge fluctuates be diagnosed and repaired by a certified technician, such as one from YourMechanic.
