The temperature gauge doesn't appear to be working at all- it stays below cold all the time. The heater works, but barely heats.

If you are getting little heat and the temp gauge says cold, chances are the thermostat is stuck open. Start by replacing it. Also, make sure the coolant is full.

Let me know what you find.
