What should my idle temp be?
195 or 210 should be your idle temp. Your thermo might be bad, it's a pretty easy repair.

My XJ Cherokee 4.0L runs right at thermostat temperature (195-F) yet reads 5-degrees higher with an offshore aftermarket sender from AutoZone. I've changed thermostats, no change.
