Mimes a 94 mazda you would be surprised what codes can help even when they are basic, my motor dose warm up and dose blow hot heat but the gage dosent really move up to even a quarter

You have a different problem. Yours is the temp sending unit, don't be me and get the wrong one! You should have two, ones a two prong connector, the other is a one prong connector.
The two prong one tells your computer what temperature the motor is running, while the one prong sends the temperature up to the gauge in your dash.

I was stupid and got the two prong first thinking it'd fix my dash gauge, to my luck! It didn't and then I went and got the other one... $70 later in two connectors, and a very unhappy camper! Haha

The temp of the truck on the dash dosent bother me but could it have a huge problem with the running of the truck and if so could you fool the computer with resistors like a 89f150 I have a weird intermittent idel and power problem similar maybe

I don't entirely understand what you're trying to ask.

The temperature of the motor could have a huge problem with the running of the truck? If you believe that's a problem, replace both the sensors. Then you have your gauge back (always nice to have) and you'll have a sensor to tell your computer what temperature the motor is

I work 15-45 minutes from work (depends on traffic) I use to be able to cook myself in the cab before I did my head gasket. Now I get nothing but luke warm air that does nothing in below 30 degree weather!!

I did my intake gaskets and the truck ran OK for a while but know pauses for a brief second and continues to speed up

Fixed the heater problem!!!! I put the thermostat in backwards. Haha, anyway, I believe this concludes my engine troubles, as I am not having any others.............. For now

Thanks everyone for helping me, and I'll surely be lurking around reading more and more posts ( hints at starting a 302 build.....

)
