It takes a good 10 minutes of driving even with the front of my rad being blocked 75% to see my needle budge a millimeter…
```
Sensor/gauge works fine...all my other S13s warm up within 2-3 minutes. I have changed the sensor and gauge in the dash with working ones.
My aftermarket temp sensor fitting will allow a few drops to drip after i shut the car off...But then again ive always had this issue even before the aftermarket sensor was installed and the rest of the system was free of any leaks. Its hardly even cold out.

Your thermostat could be stuck open.
Buy a new one install, they are cheap and easy install.
Napa or dealer should have em.
