Engine Temp?

[smiley49]

What should be normal engine temperature? My car stalled out twice yesterday. I started it up today and let it idle for 2 mins and the temp gauge was just under half. I don't believe it should have gotten that hot in two minutes. Would the car shut itself off and bring up the check gauges light in the middle of driving if it got too hot like that?

I checked the engine coolant tester in the bottom left of the engine bay near the passenger headlight, and it had about a centimeter of it wet. It looks like jiffy lube may have missed filling that up? Could I have a leak somewhere? Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advanced :D

i dont know about the 3.8 but my car sits at about 1/4. now when i flushed my raidator it took me about 3 days to fill it back up.
fill it up drive, let it cool, fill it up, that went on for 3 days, so try that?
