I checked your profile to see what year car. I think 230* fan on is about normal for a 91. The sensor in the radiator has nothing to do with fan on temp. Its a coolant level sensor.

i found the sensor near the dipstick i dont think it is that.fan comes on at 210 then off in two seconds and the temp keeps climbing on for a second then off and never stays on long enough to cool down i thinking it may be ecm.am i wrong or should fan be running if ac is on.the car im working on is a 85 i have been restoring.no not joking im really restoring a 85 vette
