OT: 99 ford taurus temp gauge says "stone cold" after long highway...

[632 Regal]

probably has NO thermostat, some engines recycle the heat through the heatercore and the rest runs right through the engine all cold, does wonders on cyliner bores after a while.

naw. we've had this car since it was new. if a thermostat was removed:

1. I was the one that took it out
2. I would have seen the work order or seen the grease/dirt disturbance in the area of the thermostat.

neither of the above has happened. the car takes as long as it always has to produce passenger compartment heat, its just that i noticed that the car did this one day, and would like to take care of it right away.

check the thermostat
