Quick question...
What should my oil pressure be? Just did an oil change, at cruise its right at bout 40 on the gauge, under acceleration it goes to the first notch, (50?) When I sit at a stop light it goes down one notch (30?)

Ive got a much safer idea. Can you easily spin the fan by hand? WHILE THE XJ IS OFF!!!!!
If you can, there is a good chance that the clutch is toast.
And 94xjohio. Sticking ANYTHING into a moving mechanical fan is not smart. And can lead to some unsuspecting guy getting hurt. Leave your smart *** comments elsewhere. People learn and get advice from this site, teaching somebody who is learning bad and unsafe methods is not a good way to teach them.

Recently my XJ has been running at good temps, fine on the open rode at the first mark so mathematically 160... I think the last time i put in a thermo (first of the year ish) that it was a 180 but now thinking about it more and where the gauge sits it could have been a 160 they gave me but i doubt it... anyway, in idle its starting to heat up really quick and get up at 210 and just a little past on the gauge and if the fan is on via my switch it still doesnt want to come down a whole lot but then when i start moving it cools right down. So basically im getting hot at idle and everything is full and the antifreeze is as green as it went in... What does this sound like given this info:
No shroud, wont fit with the fan clutch for whatever reason... just wont fit
E fan works and is wired up right via my write up
New er radiator (3 or 4 years old now)
Same age on the water pump
New hoses upper and lower
Fresh coolant and flushes
New fan clutch
