Could be the voltage stabilizer - but don't weight the coolant gauge reading too much - my '91 regularly reads below (like yours) - but my '87 nearly always reads above. (This often indicates radiator partly plugged from head corrosion debris.) Check the instrument panel first - pulling the tank to get the sender is a pain - there is a cross-tank vent line that runs OVER plumbing under the car - so you have to pull the fittings for it out of at least one side in order to drop the tank. This often means replacing at least one seal - and possibly a vent fitting if it cracks. (Had to pull a tank to cure a fuel smell from a cracked fitting.)

(my coolant temp "norm" is our '91 Carat whose gauge reads below the warning light...)
