The heat in the engine gets about 25% then the gauge drops back to cold. The heat coming from the heater is warm at best. The water level is good and there are no leaks. Is the thermostat bad or could there be sensor someplace thats bad? It's been cold here and the air going across the radiator is cold. The slow I drive I can feel the air from the heater maybe getting alittle warmer.
