thermostat stuck wide open all the time?
 
Bad sensor?
 
Loose wire to sensor?

Thanks! I also noticed that I have a little coolant leak. I'm not sure where it's coming from, but every week I have to add a little bit of coolant to my reserve bottle. Could that be a cause of the temp gauge not moving?
 
thanks

Don't think so.
 
I think you could test the gauge by grounding the sensor wire but make sure you aren't grounding a live wire. I don't know your system well enough to tell you to go around playing with wires. But the gauge can be tested easily by a shop.
 
If in fact your engine is running THAT cold that much, this is not good at all for your engine in the long run (will create engine sludge).
 
Another idea is to insert a mechanic's thermometer into the coolant directly and see what the temp REALLY is.

I'm not sure if my engine is running that cold, all I know is I'm getting heat. I haven't tried the a/c yet so I'm not sure about that. Also I noticed after I'm done driving for a while and i look under the hood, I notice that the coolant is boiling/bubbling a bit in the reserve bottle. Is that normal?
 
Thanks again!

Hi folks, can you tell me what exactly has to be detached to replace the drivers front cv shaft. It looks like a bit more than my old mazda 626. I prefer not to unbolt more than I have to.
Thanks, Mike
