well when i get a chance ill check it myself but....I installed a water temp guage last night and my car runs at 150-160 while driving. If i let it just sit there for awhile the guage will get up to 210 and just sit there until i start driving then back down. I eather have a 180 or a 192 stat in it. It is a failsafe some im thinking its just being held open. Btw it is damn cool here

so what's the question???? Is the gauge reading right??? did you mount the sensing bulb in a place where it will take a accurate reading??? or is your complaint the car doesn't warm up enough to operating temp in accordance with the t-stat you have??
