2002 Grand AM Temp

Jan 08, 2006 7 Replies

I just got a 2002 Grand Am with the 2.2 liter. The engin seems to be running warm 200 to 220. Does any one know if this is normal temp for this car?

Yet another talkaboutautos.com twit who can't figure out how to open a service manual, much less know anything about a car before buying it.

Yes, I'm sure someone knows. But you don't.

I'm sure that someone knows. Evidently, you don't.

For what it's worth, my '01 V6 runs at 200 deg F, unless sitting in traffic in the warm weather then it might approach 220.

Newer cars are run a bit hotter - helps with the emissions. SO's Jeep runs normally at 210 deg F.
