This happened to me last winter. It ended up being that I was low on anti-freeze. I filled up the reservoir with the correct mixture of anti-freeze and distilled water and voila I had heat!

What does it mean if your oil pressure gauge is high?
If your oil pressure gauge is high you have to much oil in your engine. Overfilling your engine can result in you blowing out your gaskets.
Engine temperature gauge reads high then normal?
i just put in a new radiator and now temperature gauge reads high but their are no leaks
What does it mean when your coolant temperature gauge reads cold even when warm and the idle is high?
Low Coolant or faulty gauge
Can a head gasket blow even if your car never got hot also can spraying your engine with water hurt your engine?
Yes, a head gasket can blow and cause the engine to overheat. Happens all the time. Yes spaying cold water on an engine that is at full operating temperature can possibly do some damage. Not likely, but possible. Spraying water on a warm or cold engine will do not damage to the engine. It may however damage parts such as the alternator, or some sensors. Never use a high pressure spray.
How do you you reduce engine blow by on a high performance engine?
Replace the engine or have it rebuilt. Once an engine is worn to the point that it has excessive blow by, those are the only real solutions. You could try using a heavier engine oil, but the effect that will have is negligible.
Why is an oil pressure gauge spiking then back down to normal on a 3800 engine?
Oil pressure gauges are notoriously inacurate. Pressure should be high when the engine is cold, or the accelerator is pressed hard. It's also possible the sensor is damaged.
How much r134a 2002 Malibu?
Use a gauge and start with 1/2 can - then run engine with AC on high for 3 minutes and then check gauge
2004 Pontiac Montana temp gauge goes sky high sporadically When you shut the engine off and then restart it the gauge goes backto normal why?
The engine coolent may be low enough that sensor is not surounded with coolent when engine is not running.
Where is the check engine light in the cluster of a 1997 Ford F-150?
If your gauge cluster has a tachometer:The "Check engine" light is under the tachometer just below the "1000."If your gauge cluster does not have a tachometer:The "Check engine" light is below the fuel gauge, just to the left of the high-beam headlight indicator.
What does the check gauge lights mean on a ford explorer sports trac?
Either your oil pressure gauge is reading low , your engine temperature gauge is reading high , or your fuel gauge is reading low so your almost out of gas
Will a high performance engine run better in cold or warm weather?
A high performance engine will run better in the cold the vehicle is at full operating temperature. Cold air is more dense so basically its like your packing in more air into the cylinder.
Does the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport come equipped with a fuel gauge warning light?
It has a " check gage " light if the fuel gauge is at or near empty , the engine coolant temperature is high , or the engine oil pressure is low
