Over 100 years of engine research has determined that ~195* is the ideal temperature for combustion. But my GP still runs cold with a 195*. Either that, or my temperature gauge ain't right...

How do you know its running cold? I used to think halfway on the Impala's gauge was 200, but according to my scanner 200 is a notch or so left of the half mark.
Point is, temperature gauges don't scale linearly. My trucks were like that (100 at the bottom, 210 middle, 260 at the highest), but I thought cars were different. Apparently not.

The number gauges on my GP are 210 and 160. Thus, a mid point is 185. It's almost always at or below that point. It's possible GM set it up so that the mid point is 195, but again, it's usually below that temperature.Originally Posted by Sabrewings
