What *SHOULD* the coolant temps be for "normal" driving? I know the temp gauge is borderline useless, but I'm driving with a live OBD2 readout on the phone so I'm normally seeing it fairly steady at about 201 F.

I also replaced both front O2 sensors yesterday during my lunch break, haven't had a chance to get under the car to deal with the 2 rear. Front sensors are cycling heavily when I log them, rears are relatively steady at 0.4-0.5.

Now that I have the "luxury" of the 30 day tags, I'll probably drive it for a day or two, see how it does, and then replace the rear o2 sensors and clear any codes and re-start the process if needed.
201 is right on the money. It will move up and down between 198 and 203. And when you get it on the freeway the system will turn the t-stat heater on and the temp drops into the 180's.
