my 94 does this. With the old tstat and with the new failsafe. I dont loose coolant. It's only at 220 for a few seconds, and even so that's not real damaging so i dont concern myself with it too much. You can change the thermostat just to be on the safe side.

i dont know if its a good thing but my 93 has been this way since i bought it 4 years ago. always scares me, gets up to lke 220 then goes down to 190. maybe it has something to do with where the temp sending unit is or something

I agree with chris. Mine was sticking for less than a week (doing just as you described) Then it left me stranded in the middle of downtown lansing, running very hot. When I got it home I replaced the thermostat and its all been good ever since. A normally functioning cooling system SHOULD NOT ever exceed 210 under normal circumstances. Just my 2 cents
