When the car is hot, squeeze the upper radiator hose. If it feels soft, then the thermostat is not opening and therefore bad. If you squeeze the hose and its hard to squeeze, then it is pressurized and the thermostat is open. That is one way to check if the thermostat is stuck closed. If the thermostat is stuck open, then in cold conditions the car will take a long time to produce hot air from the heater.
