engine temperature

[Goog]

My car has just started to run up to 210 degrees when I first start it up then drops back to 180 . I was just wondering were everyone else is running . Roush charges 4.6

huh? My water temp gauge doesnt move till the cars warmed up at least 2-3 minutes, just sits below 100 degrees. At startup it shouldnt move if the engine is cool.

Your thermostat may be starting to stick...it opens the very first time at a warmer temp, then cycles properly to hold the temp at 180°. You may want to replace it.

HTH
