This was where mine WAS at and I put a CarChip EX on it and measured the coolant sensor...it read 177 - 183.4 tops....which means that the car isn't getting up to temp. So I yanked the thermostat with a ac-delco direct replacement and ow it's just one tick under the 210 mark and coolant sensor reads 194 - 197.5 all the time.
While it was warm enough to go into a closed loop, it's still not up-to-minimum operating temperature...188 min - 206 max.
