Temperature between 210 and 250

[blazin_talon]

hello guys. i have a 93 talon 4g63t. heres the thing...the car was at a dead stop just idling for about 5 minutes when i noticed my fans werent running. i ran inside the car and looked at my autometertemp gauge and the needle was in the line between 210 and 250, i shut it off immediately and let it cool down. my question is do you think that damged the motor? (headgasket..etc)

If it was only idling I'd say you're fine. Would you say 230* is a reasonable guess? Between 210 and 250 is kinda vague. But even at 250, I'd not be too freaked if I was just idling.
Assuming you've fixed your fans, how does it run?

yes fans work fine now....the temp was at about 230-240 i would say

Wow thats hot, you should be ok if it wasn't boiling. You didn't have a load on the engine so there couldn't be that much damage.

If i had to guess it would have been his fan temperature switch or a loose wire.
