Mine does not. Perhaps you a low on coolant.

We replaced the temperature gauge in my 1991 Chevy blazer what is the normal operating temp?
My Corsica's temp gauge went out, and to replace the OEM gauge would have required buying the whole instrument panel. We bought an aftermarket gauge and mounted it under the dash. It cost much less, and hey, it's not a show car so I don't mind that it's not 'perfect'. Just find the temp sensor on the engine (driver's side of car on back side of engine), and either use the sensor wire there or replace with one that works with your gauge.
There are a few different reasons why your temperature gauge always shows that the temperature is low. It may need to be fixed.
220.
on the side of the radiator
1990 Chevrolet Lumina temperature sender is located on the back side of the thermostat housing. The sender has a wire that goes to the temperature gauge.
Bad temperature sending unit? Bad gauge?
210 to 220 is a safe range.
you can buy the gauge at any auto store or even walmart and there are directions with the gauge.
Buy a new Speedometer cluster. The external Temp gauge is extremely rare
