Welcome!

My 2nd gen 4.0 runs at ~200 (+/-5) at all times, regardless of season or circumstance, 235 seems quite high...

You may want to post in the 1st Generation Aurora - Mechanical Maintenance '95-'99 section for more response.

I'd check them electric fans. Think I heard 1g's have two speed fans just to complicate things. Curious, does your car have working air still?
