How warm should it run

[bigb64]

The other day my 95 over heated and left me on the side of the road. Now my question is: Where should the needle rest when the car is all warmed up (ie, on the M, A, R on the stock gauge) I replaced my thermosate (I pput a 160 temp in) and the needle stoped at the A I didn't want to keep going in case it was not fixed now the only reason I ask is becasue wuth the old thermo (i dont know what temp it was) never went past the O i was just woundering if any one has any onfo

the needle should go to what type of thermostat it is. that means the thermostat opens at that temperature. if you got a 160 thermo it should run around 160.

Don't take the stock gauge for being the truth. They are often wrong, and just used as a "dummy" gauge. If you truly want to know how hot your car is running, buy an Autometer temperature gauge.
