Anyway, the answer is drum roll please: a new ACDelco 131-158 thermostat, no other part number.
Open the pressure cap to check coolant level frequenly.
Since you said in another thread that you are losing oil; you should suspect bad rings, 2 quarts in 2 weeks is a lot. Check it very frequently.

Please read FMG and RJ’s response posts on page one.
Greg, I confirmed the engine in question is not a 2.0 LNF turbo engine, that’s why I separated the threads also the other thread was from over a decade ago, doubtful any responses would be posted.

Thank you for reposting.
to the forums!98% of the time, this is a bad thermostat issue. Get the ACDelco 131-158, accept no substitute. Here is the how-to https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-...l-p0128-24493/

Ok, I've moved all of your posts to this thread. So now oil loss is noted here, so our answers are a little bit muddled.
The thermostat suggestion addresses the issue you have with the flatline coolant temperature readout.
