What's the typical coolant temp these cars run around with?

 

180.

 

i see 213 in hot ass you ain't going no where traffic and 194 when i'm crusin real easy like.

 

All right.

I think I hit around 213 while cruising around Woodward waiting for some of my friends. About 85 and humid.

I was worried because I'm used to my Camaro which rarely hits 160.

 

my bad, this is the 2.2 area. i don't think it should be much different however.

damn i need to start looking at the Forum area.....

 

search "coolant temp" in the advanced search, and search the titles only. you'll find a shitload of answers.

basically anything under 230 is considered normal

my 2.2 ran an average of about 10 degrees hotter than the 2.0 does.

 

ok then, 190 should be about right, which is what they're running.

 

yep.

 

Good, then everything is all ship-shape.

 

yep. normally right around 190 or so.

 

Mine runs at 192-194(engine cover off) on the highway. In traffic it's gone as high as 210 and 204 when I took the engine cover off. I've seen it as low as 187.

 

that's what i'm, getting give or take.

 

Yeah, it peaked at 213, but was more around 204-209

 

mine will go up to almost 220 sitting in a drivethrough or heavy traffic. the cooling system in our car needs airflow. and you dn't get that sitting still. once you start moving it should go down.

 

the cooling fan in the 2.2 does not come on till exactly 215F. so its normal to be around that, i see high temps everyday in S.FL. a trick is to put ur AC on or get a fan switch

 

190 on the highway...220max if i let it sit, than it will come down to 190 when the fan kicks, 190 if the a/c is one

 

Mine generally runs around 190°F.
