If your engine temperature gauge is indicating a lower temperature than

normal ( it sounds like the engine cooling thermostat is sticking open or not

closing all the way )

Mine does that but I still get good heat from the heater in the winter time and my check engine

light hasn't come on ( if my vehicle had to sit outside in the winter I would have the

thermostat changed )
