Is my thermostat stuck?
My car stays at about 3/4 of the way to the first notch on my temperature gauge "maybe 170ish" in normal driving. At the track it will rise to close to 210. I am just curious to see if it may be stuck? The car is a all stock 1998 model. Thanks

That sounds normal, mine is around the same. When I'm in stop and go traffic it will rise to 210, but after I get moving at a constant speed it will drop back to around where yours is. I wouldn't worry about it. The 1998 models have the gauge that reads the actual temperature. I think the 99 and up models got the gauge that goes to 210 automatically.

In my 98 it'll read like 1/4 of the way up on the temp gauge, but if it's sitting it'll go up to 210.
