200 degrees Fahrenheit is normal, but it may go higher under certain circumstances. Water boils at 212 degrees, but when pressurized the boiling point rises depending on the pressure. So an engine can be running at above 212 without boiling over. The temperature of the coolant in your vehicle is determined by the grade of thermostat that it has. Most factory thermostats are rated at 195 degrees. Some vehicles come with 180 degree thermostats. If your vehicle isn't getting warm or if it is getting hotter that 195 degrees, you may have a faulty thermostat or water pump.
