I have never seen this before. My '90 ranger 2.3L takes forever to get warm enough to blow heat. I generally have to drive about 4 miles before the air gets warm. All of my other cars are getting warm in the first mile. Anyway, once it is warm, the temp gauge never makes it to the middle, it just barely comes off the peg. I figured, no problem, the t-stat is stuck open so I changed it out. No difference. Then I thought it must be that the heater core is cooling the engine so I blocked it off to see if that would get the engine up to temp. No luck. Has anyone ever seen anything like this. What did you do to cure it?
