It take a very long time for the needle just to go over the 2nd line. The needle stays around the first 1/4 line and while driving it never reaches the half way mark. I also get shitty heat. the coolant is not low.......someone please hellp me

Yes it's the thermo, and don't even try testing it in hot water, does not tell you anything. If they don't stick open the spring that holds it shut gets weak and they float open from the pump pressure increasing warm-up time etc.
