My 2002 KIA Sportage runs cold. The Temp gauge will only go alittle pass C and when I drive it goes all the way to cold. Any help would be great.

If your car is actually getting warm and the heat is working fine, then it is just your temp. gauge working improperly. If it is actually running cold, then you should check your thermostat. It may not be working properly and this is a pretty cheap fix.
