The coolant light will also flash if your intake fan malfunctions.

normal is relative. if it's hot outside, the engine will run a little hotter.

normally mine sits on the left side of the "8" in "180" however yesterday being so hot (middle of nowhere kansas) and driving down the highway at *ahem* slightly over the speed limit, it stuck straight up and down.
