WITHIN MINITES OF IDILING OR GETTING OFF THE FOOTFEED ITS BACK TO NORMAL TEMP. IVE REPLACED COOLANT T-STATS; FLUSHED COOLING SYSTEM 3 TIMES; REMOVED A/C CONDENCER;AIR TO AIR & STEAMED THEM & RADIATOR STILL THE SAME & GETTING WORSE CRUISING SPEED WATER 180DEG OIL225DEG ?  

Answer
Well actually if the engine is not heating up,and depending on year model,they had a fix for that.It was a different water pump pulley & thermostat for oil cooler.The oil cooler thermostat does not START to open until 225 degrees.So your High temp light sensor might be faulty if it comes on at 225.
