LS1 thinks it's running hot
 

My 98' Trans am shows over 230 degrees according to the gauge. This is after driving 5 miles in 65 degree weather. I have the manual fan bypass switch but full fans has no effect. Checking under the hood, it just doesn't feel that hot. The radiator hoses are warm and i can touch the radiator without getting burned. I swapped coolant about 4 months ago to the green, but used the compatible stuff. I replaced the temperature sensor last weekend but no luck. The car is relatively stock other than basic bolt-ons. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Will it keep getting hotter and hotter with fans working..........? If so, stuck t-stat............

.

make sure ur fans are turning the right way, this happen to me with my 1996 trans am back in 04,

If you going by the heat when you open the hood saying "it don't feel that hot" Then there is a good possibility the thermostat is stuck.

If its a sticking t-stat...put your hand on the head itself.....that sumbitch will be HOT!!!!!!!
