SS operating temp
 

What is the approx normal operating temp for a 2.0 in 90-100* summer heat?

mine normally runs in the low 200s in the texas heat

Thanks Legend. I thought mine might be running warm at low 200's. Guess its normal.

yea on a cool morning its in the high 100s and low 200s in the 120 degree weather we get, depends on how you drive and the driving conditions

Mine also

Mine ran 190-200 in +90 degree temps in Michigan.

the thermostat will open at around 195 degrees so the temperature of the engine should be around that too so low 200s and upper 190s is normal. when i put my foot in it for a while mine will get up to about 210 or so

When I drove to Calif. at the end of June it was about a 110 degrees out and while going over the grapevine my temp went as high as 226 degrees, thats a ton from what it normally runs here, I dont think I've seen it hit 200

Rainman: Going up the "Vine" would build a little more heat than we normally see in the engine. Thats a pretty steep grade and quite long. I think 226 would be about right, and nothing to worry about. Probably droped on the downside pretty quick, I would imagine. "Moon"

Ditto here, driving through the mountain passes here, it goes like 215-219, then back down to 199-203 almost immediately after a crest.
