Does anyone know at what temperature the coolant thermostat starts to open and what temperature it is fully open?

Fully open at around 94C. These valves are not percise and can vary several degrees up or down. One thermostat may begin opening at 80C and another at 85C. The full range of the valve movement is anywhere from 5C - 10C from closed to fully open.

Runs the car too hot or too cold? Just a question.

i've posted before about my running temperature... i use an obd meter to get a digital readout of my running temperature... in slow moving heavy town traffic, the needle creeps on the outer edge of the 0 (of 80)... the obd meter reads 93-95 degrees celcius... when the traffic speeds up to about 30-40 mph, the needle moves to the inner edge of the 0 and the obd meter reads 88-90 degrees celcius... at 70 mph the temp is 86-88 degrees... i am trying to find out if i'm running hot... some say yes, some say no
