is this normal operating temp? cause it will stay there then go down a lil .back and forth and i wanna make sure its not running hot.

 

ya its a lil high but nothing to get worried bout its not to high... if you wanna play safe replace the thermostat and make sure the rad cap is good

 

I just replaced the thermosta how would I check if the cap is good?

 

Both SC's I have owned there temps stayed at different positions, your seems a tad bit high. But again nothing to worry about as long as it doesnt go above that, I would also check your cap etc. You have to pressure test the cap, most auto parts stores s hould have it.

 

Cool thks man,yea my last sc and my gs stay dead in the middle this one dose to but goses up a lil and back down it never goses over that though,ganna replace cap any ways

 

Update so I changed the rad cap and it stills goses up where the pic shows,put then goses down a lil it goses back and forth but dosent go over that what could it be,its a new raditor,new raditor cap, new water pump ,new theromsta what is it should I be worried,i hate driving just staring at it..

 

Did you clean the radiator coolant sensor? Because sometimes it gets filthy..

 

where is it located? i changed both ect there new.

 

Sounds like an air bubble in the cooling system especially if you just did a thermostat recently. It's really easy to think its full of coolant when its not quite. Buy a funnel with a radiator cap attachment and let it run for about 20 mins with the heat on til all the bubbles are done coming out.

 

i replaced the coolant temp sensor with an autozone unit when i thought it was bad it reads alil higher then what an oem one does, the one that was in the car was dead middle then it would peg H cuz i forgot a ground and thought it was the sensor so i replaced it and now its slightly under the line where yours sit right now

 

That seems a little high for me. What are your outside temps in Florida these days? What kind of coolant are you using? You could have air in the system, a clutch fan going bad, water pump issue, radiator leak, bad thermostat, or worse bad HG....do a pressure test and find out.

 

If the cap is easy to take off then you need to replace it

 

That's considered normal, although it's a bit on the high side. I live in Arizona and I have never seen my temperature needle go up that high. If I saw mine go up that high, I would assume that the coolant is low or thermostat is not opening all the way.
