It sounds like the guage is working fine. Since you have little or no heat when you say the guage isn't working it sounds like the thermostat is getting stuck open causing your coolant to be constantly cooled (it isn't closing so the engine can warm up sufficiently to provide heat). Replace your thermostat and I bet your problem will go away.
