In colder temperatures it takes a long time for the temperature gauge to show the engine is warm. When I'm driving on the highway it stays cold and when I'm idling or just driving in town in warms up. I don't have this problem in warmer temperatures. The enginge heats up and maintains it's temperature. I'm thinking it's the thermostat but I'm not sure.

Check both thermostat and coolant temp sensor
