What should Highway temp be at highway speed?
I used a bluetooth OBD II connector to monitor the temp at highway speed. It runs 212-214F without the cabin heat/blower on, and if it’s warm outside (65F+), and I leave the cabin heat off it slowly rises into the 240F range which pushes the temp gauge up close to red.

What to do when your car is overheating on the highway?
both cooling fans do work, but they appear to be coming on only when the coolant is extremely hot (haven’t checked coolant temp yet with the OBD II ). when the temp gauge is above half (hotter than normal) at highway speed, if I hit the clutch (droping RPM from 3500 to 800 idle), the temp gauge will dip cooler, then rebound to the previous reading.
