Water temp gauge has been registering low temps for about two weeks now. Temp does not go above 1/4 barely above blue area most of the time. I usually drive 20-30 minutes at a time everyday.

Inspect and test the engine coolant temperature sender gauge/switch or replace it-could also be the guage itself out of calibration

It could also be a broken thermostat.

Hey Doc-I forgot to mention the coolant blocker could be stuck open not maintaining the engine temp. Therefore the CTS is reading cold and givng that info to the temp. Gauge.

Merry Christmas Amigo! Going cherry picking-Later
