Re: high engine temp? and no oil pressure

The factory thermostat opens at 195, and the fan cuts in at 220... 200 is normal.... oil pressure reading could be a bad sending unit.... you don't mention the engine size, but 3.1s typically read 60-80 idling cold and 30-40 idling warm....could also be a stuck bypass valve on the oil pump (not common, but possible)
