Sounds like the thermostat is stuck open, but most engines eventually warm up even with it stuck, if you stop and wait for the temp to rise then start driving again will it stay in the normal range or drop back down again?

if i want to try figer out what could be the problem where can i start looking? thermostat? radtaor?

 

[hunterjerry]

i havnt try that but i will cus im goin down to wollo on the 25th i will tell u how it goes
from my memory i believe it will stay but im not 100% sure

oh one more thing n it might be stilly to ask y its bad for the engine cus i rally want to keep this car for a long time as this is my 1st car

stuck open thermostat. replace it and flush the coolant while you're at it. mine was doing this exact thing when I first got it.

kool sound like a easy fix then i need a flush too so yeah sound like a gud timing but i will need to do it after april tho u think its ok to hang in there for a lil longer?
