I would do the basics, check fluid level. Try bleeding the system and see if any air is in there. Usually if there is air in the cooling system it will cause the car to run hot but if there is air, it may not be allowing for ana accurate temperature read out. I would try hooking up a scanner to see if maybe your gauge is wrong. Normal operating temperature should be anywhere from 175-210F. 210 is hot but that is how the 3.1, 3.4, and some of the 3.8 engines run.
