fans come on too late.
a couple months ago my car always stayed below 200F even after pulls, but now its 200 and up at idle.. after checking everything i noticed the fans come on late, and i didnt want to make a new thread cuz ppl seem to get mad for some reason, even when its to ask for help..but i have to ask in case someone here had the same problem... i have searched on other forums and many cars have had the same problem, but EVERYONE stops posting after they seem to have found a solution....
anyways, my cooling fans use to come on at 190F something, now at 223F, and no this is not the way its suppose to be.... when cooling fans come on temp goes down to 196 or so... when AC is on the car stays at normal temp cuz fans come on. replaced relays and temp sensor, still nothing. ANY help will be appreciated!

lol thermostat. also.. is it normal for our cars to go up in temperature after you turn off the car and turn it back on after a few mins. ex. u pull up to a gas station (189F) turn off the car... after pumping gas, u get inthe car, turn it back on and the temp is 196F.. is this normal?

Stock tune is 220* for fans. Get a tune and set fans to 100% at 200* (this is what i did) I never see over 200* unless im beating on it on a hot day.

Yup.
If you're tuned, the fan temps can be altered too.
Just remember: Radiators are heat exchangers that work by shedding heat into the air that passes through them. If the car isn't moving, then that means no airflow. No airflow means no efficient way to get rid of the heat, and the temps will tend to rise.

That being said, I could be wrong, but I do not believe that you can change the fan points, as that is something programmed into the ECU that typically requires reflashing with a more sophisticated tuning device.

this is what ive found, i want something like this, but this product is for trucks
Hypertech - Adjust Cooling Fan On/Off Temperatures
With the Hypertech Power Programmer, you can electronically adjust the “on/off” temperatures of your vehicle’s electric cooling fans. When used with a Hypertech PowerStat, low-temperature thermostat, this produces a cooler, denser intake charge that allows the engine to make more power. A cooler engine is also less likely to detonate under heavy loads. That means better performance for you and longer life for your engine.

i have found that changing the fans to heat, and having them blow out the feet turns the fans on for some reason ha. usually when im sitting for awhile ill turn the heat to my feet and put the speed to 1 and idle temp stays around 189
