Did you change thermostats recently ? Maybe you put in a cooler opening one. How cold is it where you are ? Are you sure your cooling system is full without an air pocket ? Does your heater blow hot air ?

I have the same problem in my 93 2.3. New thermostat and antifreeze(last year). The guage gets about to the C fully warmed up and driving. There is no heat at all

I'm assuming you're talking about temp at the gauge? Change the sensor. The Threads on the sensor are tapered, do not over tighten you will crack the housing.
