Sorry can't find my original post about my cars chugging engine problem with check engine code 2188. I finally got my hands ona code reader that can read real time data. Is there a place I could find out what the normal ranges are. For example I notice my coolant sensor had a reading at 198 f after 5 km of driving. All the way up to 210 f at one point. However I though the thermostat is a 180 f. Now my temperature gauge is still in the normal range. I checked out the hma service site but wasn't that helpful. As they only gave reading for sensor running certain codes.
Any help would be greatly useful. Hopefully I can finally solve this problem.

have you changed your thermostat? it could be a clog, broken waterpump, or leak in waterpump/radiator. how are your coolant levels? do they bubble after driving?
