Around 190 degrees
between 176 and 216...at which point the fan should come on and cool it down.
I assume where it has a 195 degree thermostat that operating temp should be in that range 190-220
The proper coolant temperature for a 2010 Camaro typically ranges between 195°F and 220°F (90°C to 104°C) when the engine is at normal operating conditions. It's important to monitor the temperature gauge on the dashboard; if it consistently exceeds this range, it may indicate an overheating issue. Always consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations and maintenance guidelines.
I think it is 180 to 210.
lets you know from inside the car if your engine is running at the proper operating temperature.
A temperature difference of about 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit between the top radiator hose and the bottom hose is normal when the engine is running. The top hose carries hot coolant from the engine to the radiator, while the bottom hose returns cooler coolant back to the engine. This temperature variance helps the engine maintain proper operating temperature.
Engine is Hot, Coolant is not HOThere engine is hot means above the engine operating temperature, Coolant is not hot means coolant in the radiator is not hot and the coolant is below or withing the operating temperature.i think there is no water blow out from the radiator cap if you have this problem then the following will not apply to your case.* water is not circulating through the radiator, either half of the pumped water is circulating through the radiator or another half circulates through the engine block because of thermostat. so please check the engine thermostat for proper function.
Typically the thermostats in this type of car has a normal operating temperature of 195 degrees.
Check to see if the electric cooling fans are coming on, and at the proper temperature. The air conditioning is adding heat to the engine, and your cooling system cannot remove the extra heat. This happens with some cars at idle, when the heat stays around the engine and the coolant is not circulating as quickly. Extra electric fans are installed to deal with this, but they have to be operating properly and you have to have the proper mix of antifreeze as well.
The thermostat you are running will determine the lowest operating temp most are around 195 deg, The engine itself can run much high under load iI have seen over 230 deg. without a problem with proper coolant, As long as it is not boiling over it is not to hot.
I would guess that the thermostat is not opening at the proper temperature. Once it does open proper circulation brings it down to the correct operating temperature. I think it should be replaced.
