    Thermostat is most likely stuck open. Buy a new one. 5 bucks or so and replace it.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    and buy a good thermostat. I bought one that bought the farm as soon as the weather turned cold. Got so frustrated that I caved on got one from the dealership.
    Perfection is simply a matter of replacing parts.

    it worked for him though, didn't it?!

    i had the same problem, took forever to "warm up," but it actually was. stuck open thermometer. replacement fixed it, and also fixed a weird blipping at idle caused from bad temp readings.
