If the engine temp only gets to 120 degrees F, I would say the thermostat is stuck open or missing.

Why does the temperature gauge on your car fluctuate?

When Steve woke up his temperature was 120 F two hours later it was 3 F lower what was his temperature then?
120 minus 3 is 117. However, a temperature of 117 means you will still be dead. The highest temperature ever recorded in a patient that lived was 115.7 degrees Fahrenheit. So that part about waking up to a temperature of 120- yeah, you would not wake up. Ever.

Why doesn't the temperature gauge of a 93 Ply Voyager 3.0 go up when driving but if parked goes up to normal?
I presume the engine is running when the car is parked if the temperature guage does not move to the normal position when the car is moving at road speed but goes up when the car is stopped and the engine idling, then more than likely the thermostat is bad and needs to be replaced. If you se that the temperature guage is in the normal position anafter the car has been running a while and the temperature guage then goes down when the car is moving at road speed, then this confirms that the thermosta is bad.
