What causes the temperature gauge to not move and there to be very low heat in a Taurus - Sable?
i'm guessing that it's a leaking head gasket. That's what my mechanic told me today about my 1996 Ford Taurus.
Long before thinking the worst case (head gasket), start with replacing the thermostat.
If the engine coolant / anti-freeze hasn't been changed in a few years, it also should be flushed.This coolant flush should also be sure to clear the heater core also.
