I'm assuming you aren't having problems with coolant loss??? My '87 tqa was
running hotter than usual because the head gasket was going bad. I couldn't
figure it out until I realized that the car was eating coolant (no white
smoke out the back). I'm sorry, but I don't have any temp data for you.
Maybe a blockage in the radiator?
The list will have other suggestions, too.
Good luck.
Tom
