I think you guys are missing a key point here.  The car should not start
running poorly simply because the water temp is a little higher than it
usually runs at.

Something else is wrong.

My inclination is to agree with Zach. The general performance of the car is
consistent with what he is suggesting. I'll definitely be changing the stat
and the single-wire sensor when I flush out and replace the coolant this
weekend. 

With Kevin's link to the FAQ, (worked fine for me by the way), I'll check
the codes as well and see what I get.

Double-checking the fan's performance will be another thing I look at as
well.

While air may be a culprit, this seems unlikely as the system has been
ticking along really well.  When your stat begins to stick it will swing the
gauge dramatically as well.  It goes way up, then when the stat finally
opens it drops back down quickly until the stat would close up again.  Mine
fluctuates a little, but I am gettign my real temperature reading out of the
coolant in the block, so I just disregaurd it as the stat opening and
closing.

What I was suggesting was that it's a 2 part problem.  1 the thermostat
sticks.  and 2 the temp gauge is reading too low and not showing the temp as
high as it really is.
