Hi All,
Just got a 1995 contour gl 4cyl yesterday (106k miles) and am now fixing it up. So far I've changed plugs, wires, flushed coolant, and put in new air filter. Both before and after the coolant flush my engine temp (80 degrees outdoors here in Dallas, a/c always on) is right between the "M" and the "A". Is this normal or a little high?

The engine idles roughly with the a/c on and the new plugs/wires did little to help. Reading through the forum I see advice ranging from cleaning the IAC to replacing the fuel pump. I'm taking it to a shop in town later to see hat they say. Any advice on any of the above is appreciated. Thanks a lot!
