My car runs at 180 while cruising and around 190-195 when idling...Do you have a fan shroud??...if not you really need one...You probably need a new thermostat...230 is WAYY TOO HOT!...I don't care if your 'stat is new--they are cheap and can be defective...
: overheating problem is still here, 180* stat, 3 row radiator, just been redone, timing as high as I can go with no pinging and it runs cooler, but still hits 230* running about 75-80mph @ 2000rpms.
: what temp does everyone run on the interstate and what temp does the stock idiot light come on at?
