Exclamation 06 GT running hot at idle.

Hey Guys,Im new to this site and to modular motors.Just bought an 06 GT defintely different from my 88 GT.Don't know yet if that's good or bad im hoping you motorheads.Can bring me up to speed on the 4.6 3V more specificly the temp. range for high and low fan temps. bone stock.Siting in traffic my aftermarket gauge will run to 230 at idle.Fan coming on at 210 im assumming low speed.If i turn on A/C which automaticly turns fan on high it cools down to approx. 210 btw if it gets over 215 it runs like crap which i guess is the computer is retarding the timeing.Anyone have any input on this i could use some help.i talked to couple guys at a Car Show they said buy a tuner and set the fan switch to come on sooner any help will be appriected.

Well why would you have an aftermarket gauge if it's bone stock? Who would mess with a important gauge for a bone stock car? Plus can you call it bone stock if it has after market gauges? Sounds like a gauge problem.

You could buy Predator which would allow you to set different temps at which your fan would turn on. Lower being optimal obviously and helps avoid heatsoak which robs power.

That is, if you don't have any other underlying problem.
