What Temp should my Sunfire run at?

Hi all, what should my gauge read when it is warmed up?

Thanks

anywhere from 195 to 220, depends on whether you are moving, outside air temperature, a/c on, condition of the cooling system.

overheating

It over heated yesterday. Let it set for several hours, refilled the radiator, it was down about a gallon and half and now it sets at 195 steady.

Not sure what caused the over heating.

No check engine lights are on. Would the computer have stored any codes related to it??

Pressure test the system to find a leak. Check if the fans come on when the car gets very hot, 215.
