Anybody know what the operating temp should be on a 98 Corolla, standard
transmission.

The thermostat's opening temperature should be stamped on the thermostat's
plate. Coolant temperature is probably somewhere between 180 and 210
degrees F.

Hot enough to cook eggs, not hot enough to burn them.

Most likely so that the needle is right in the center of its range. If it's
consistently higher or lower, it would be worth looking into the reason.

Ever bake a potato on the exhaust manifold?

I haven't, but others have...

Sounds like a good excuse to go get one of those radio remote
barbecue/oven thermometers. Stick the probe in the chicken breast,
wrap it in foil and put it in the "oven", and put the remote readout
on the dash.

When the internal temperature of that chicken hits 165F pull over,
it's dinner time.

I usually keep my car around 75 F. I like to wear a sweatshirt or light
jacket (like a spring jacket) when I go a drive over 20 minutes or so,
rather than a winter coat. I also like to keep the moonroof open.

The operating temperature outside the passenger compartment is probably
different. The engine is usually warmer, but what the temperature should be
depends on where you measure it. Inside the cylinders, it probably goes from
about 20 degrees warmer than outside temperature to around 600 F and back
again real fast, 10 to 100 times a second, depending on the engine speed.
The water temperature is probably a little warmer than the thermostat set
point when it comes out of the engine and around ambient air temperature
when it goes back in.

Should be about in the middle of the temp gauge. My 96 1.6 always
stays there, rock steady no matter how hot or cold. This thing has a
first class cooling system.

And that is roughly 195-F to 200-F (roughly 95-C to 98-C), give or
take 10 degrees F. Right where the thermostat is partially open and
throttling the coolant flow out to the radiator to hold the
temperature constant. Most Toyotas hold the temperature gauge rock
steady at the mid-point unless you're driving it hard in the summer.

And excursions slightly above 212-F or 100-C are acceptable under
hot weather full load conditions, since the cooling system is
pressurized to relieve at about 14-PSI the boiling point is also
raised.
