This question is for stock or bolt on type cars with a totally stock cooling system.
With ac blasting in 90 plus temp, have you scanned your car to see what its at exactly?
Is 225 normal in traffic or stopped?

My 100% stock car's gauge always sits right in the middle and I know it can't be accurate. Once the car has warmed up the gauge shows the same whether it's 20 degrees outside or sitting in 90 degree Atlanta traffic. I've had the Dexcool changed out about 3 years ago, just due to age, and the new Dexcool did nothing to change the readings. What's the actual temp?? No idea.

1998 was the only year that the water gauge read temp. From 99 on the water temp gauge was redesigned to work basically as a dummy gauge and only show an overheat condition.
