Fan should kick on when it reaches around the half way mark.

and my hondas/acuras have always sat around 1/4 temp.

not sure exactly of the temperatures if thats what your looking for.

what seems to be your problem? overheating?

The temperature is probably right around 200 deg F, but I've seen some at around 220 deg F. It depends on what radiator and thermostat you're running, and how much water-to-antifreeze ratio you're running. Any sort of a water wetter or dish washer detergent agent can also lower the operating temps.

With a Fluidyne, 60 water/40 antifreeze mix, and a half bottle of Redline Water Wetter, my coolant temps are around 175 to 185 deg F depending on the ambient temps...as long as I don't let it idle for-*******-ever.

I think the fan thermoswitch closes the circuit at 200 deg F.

Forgot to mention that all of the temperature readings on my engine were taken through the Hondata Hondalogger.
