87 sunbird Gt non turbo, have a temp scale/gage that is analog/needle. The cold temp is when the needle is resting at around 7:00 position, red hot is at 11:00. Normally, car runs at a cool 7:30-8:00. When approaches 8:30 I toggle switch the fan to run, cooling it down.
But today, I noticed the needle did not go past a "cold needle" of the cold 7:00 position. It did not move! Even after 10 miles of driving where normally it warms to 8:00 or so. Scary! What is going on? Engine computer shows no stored codes (I thought maybe the temp sensor in the coolant port was bad). Maybe it is bad but does not throw the code(?).
What would you do? This is not normal in my car. I know my car- since 1987. No way dos it stay cold with no needle movement.
