Go to a local parts store (autozone) or something like that have them pull the code for free and post back with the code. The temp thing should be OK. 200-210 is normal

What he said ^^^ get the codes read. Probly not a big deal... and if you never have had a all aluminum engine it doesn't take long to get some heat in them.

What's the number of that code? Every time a code says "catalyst" or anything similar, they'll tell you it's a bad catalytic converter. MANY times though it is not. Get the code NUMBER and we can help
