It's been hovering around 0 degrees lately and it takes forever to get the car warmed up. I let it idle for 10-15 minutes in the morning but the temp guage will hit the first line only after about 20 min of city driving and will never get above the N. I'm thinking the t-stat is stuck open but what's a good way to tell? Any other ideas of what it might be? I'm tired of freezing my nutz off.
I don't have a block heater, but that should't prevent it from warming up as normal after it's been started.
For what it's worth the temp guage will rarely get above the O during the summer.
