Seems like my car is running a little hot
Coming home from work today, it seemed like my car was running a little warm. I was on 635(Dallas, doing ~60+MPH) and my temp was at about 210*. Is that a little high or what. When I finally ran into traffic and slowed down, I turned the a/c off and flipped the fan switch on. It only went down to about 200*. What kind of temp is everyone else seeing?
Thanks for the input

Is that what your car has been running at, or is it higher? If the temp went up more than normal, I would make sure your fans are running, and you didn't suck some paper up in front of the radiator. Just unbolt the top retainer across the top of the radiator, lean it back and check the front of it.

double check and make sure your fans are working, theres no trash anywhere in the way, and all of the plastic peices underneath are still connected right.
