It depends on the vehicle but most run at about 175 to 210.

Function of temperature gauge?
lets you know from inside the car if your engine is running at the proper operating temperature.
What temperature are exhaust manifolds on a running car?
They are 500-1000 degrees F, depending on the engine.
Why does temperature gauge go down if heat is on?
If this is about a car: the heater in a car is basically another radiator, but this one sitting inside the car. When you turn the heater on you draw heat from the engine and into the car. If you aren't running the car hard enough the temperature in the engine will drop.
Why do engine coolant fan keeping running after engine is turn off on 1999 intrigue?
The engine coolant fan can keep running after the engine is turned off in any car because the temperature gauge is in the radiator. As long as the radiator is still hot, the fan will keep running until the temperature gauge says it has cooled enough.
What is the cooling fan relay for on a car?
It cycles the fan on and off to cool the engine to a certain temperature and to keep it from running hot
What is the temperature of a car's engine when it is running?
Depends on the thermostat. Most vehicles run a 195 thermostat and the engine coolant temp runs between 195 and 225.
If a car's oil battery engine temperature and engine lights come on and then the car slows down and dies is it the car's alternator or is it the battery?
if you can start car pull off the neg battery cable if car stalls its the altinater if it stays running it might be the battery
What is the Temperature of a car engine when running?
Approx 195 degrees. Cooling fans usually come on around 210-215 degrees
What is idling of engine?
A car that is stopped with the engine running.
Does a car engine get hot when it runs?
An engine of a car burns gasoline inside the piston chambers. This makes the temperature to be hot when running. The radiatorfluid that cools the engine becomes hot also, where a fan and air entering the front of the radiator cools the fluid several degrees lower to mantain the temperature in an specific temperature range.When the temperature of the eninge is not controlled, it overheats causing damage to it.
How does the radiator fan know to come on?
Most often there is a temperature sensor that tells the fan to run or not: above 165F (in a lot of cases) the fan goes on, below that it is off to allow the engine to warm up to running temperature. It varies from car to car and even day to day based on readings that the cars computer takes in running the engine.
Why doesn't the temperature gauge of a 93 Ply Voyager 3.0 go up when driving but if parked goes up to normal?
I presume the engine is running when the car is parked if the temperature guage does not move to the normal position when the car is moving at road speed but goes up when the car is stopped and the engine idling, then more than likely the thermostat is bad and needs to be replaced. If you se that the temperature guage is in the normal position anafter the car has been running a while and the temperature guage then goes down when the car is moving at road speed, then this confirms that the thermosta is bad.
