Cooling temp.....
correct me if i am wrong. The cooling temp when you are driving is 192 deg, why is it increase so fast (up to 220-230 deg) in a matter of minute if your car sit still? This happened even the weather is about 80 deg and been driving for about 20-30 mins.

00c5coupe,
If you're not moving, then no air is being forced through the radiator core. The cooling fans don't kick on until a fairly high temp....forget exactly....but around 220-225 (I think).
Good luck.

Re: Cooling temp..... (MDT)
Install the Hayden adjustable fan control module, availible from Pep Boys Auto stores, for $39. It will allow you car to maintain sub 200F temps in stop and go traffic.
