No, nothing's wrong. Is this the first car you've ever owned?

That LED will stay lit from 135 degrees to well over 200 degrees. (in other words, as a gauge, it's worthless except for extremes). YOur car will generally run between 185 and 200 degrees under most all conditions..

all cars do that, they stay at one point for a long range of temperatures.

Actually it does....I monitor my actual water temps all the time with my Scangauge. The Z runs nice and cool...Usually around 182-185. The gauge is worthless, but the water cooling system is

It's basically a linear idiot light.
