My fans don't run at all unless temp gets up to 195 or so.....It seems to be just the outside temp keeping it cool....But since you are in the GA/Fl area I am guessing you had 70 degree weather :-) Lately its been about 30 degrees with snow everywhere when I drive it....I have always been curious about outside air temp effecting engine temp....Why at 50 degress outside cars run fine yet when the temp goes to 90 in the summer that 40 degree increase casues cars to overheat...Walt where are you :-) It sounds like on your car you need a new otterstadt switch.....Maybe a thermostat.

My car runs exactly as you described yours with the needle barely going over 100 in most cases. I purchased my car about 4 months ago. My fans currently run full time because the wires are jumped to let them do that. I know they aren't supposed to be that way but they were that way when I purchased the car and I am going to leave them that way until I can figure out why the previous owner did that. Anyway this weekend we disconnected the wires and allowed the car to idle without the fans to make sure my temp gauge was working and in a matter of minutes the car was at 220. We hooked the fans back up and the temp went back down. What all this is saying is that if your fans run all the time, that might be a cause of the running cold. You may also have a defective water temperature gauge.
