if its going down to like 50 then its cool enough to bring it out of CL (some bout 55c is the OL limit) and it shouldnt be varying the temp anyway it will always interfere with fueling, id look at this first then u can get some consistency with the sensors then see what the rest is doing

Off Topic: But what OTR is that? The filter is so easy accessible compared to mine ..

Edit: Oh wait, this is a photo of it pulled out from the front of the radiator

Wow that’s a beautiful bay!
Should get some hi temp blue paint and paint the grey bits of ur engine cover blue it will match the car nicely and look so much better than that dull grey

Update:
So car was with mechanic all day. He said hes tested everything. Pulled of TB inspected it. Checked all readings and apparently its doing everything correct to what the ecu wants it to do...fuel readings correct. MAF is correct.he doesnt know what is wrong...not happy cos it cost me $300 and i still have this problem...

So not fuel or sensors (I presume mech checked O2), and ECU doesn’t report misfire even, try ignition: plugs, leads, coil packs.
Like i dont know..he had it all day and checked everything..if it doesnt sort itself in couple weeks ill look at getting a new ecu maybe..or im just going to trade it in. ive had it for 6 years and the past 12months its been 1 thing after another. ive lost interest in it..

So ive uploaded a a short clip of what my car is doing. The car runs ok and idles fine when statinary but when in neutral and rolling or when you come to a stop itll rev high. Once you stop moving it returns to normal..in the clip im rolling down the road in neutral at 40ks and the revs are up and down. Sometimes it just sits at 2000rpm and other times it does this..itll kepp doing that until you put it in gear or come to a stop
