sounds like the sensor is bad.

my car with a 195 t stat runs around 190 to 195 moving, as high as 210-212 left idling.


you also need to remember the t stat only opens for a short amount of time. once cooler coolant hits the t stat it shuts again.

Ok then i should be good. just need a sensor then. I also found the vacum leak while i was messing with the lower house haha
