Not Reaching Operating Temp

Asked by Zoner Dec 21, 2015 at 07:59 PM about the 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Keep getting an engine code that my 2003 PT Cruiser is not reaching operating temperature. Have replaced the thermostat 2x in the last 6 months. Seems fine after new thermostat for a few weeks and then code. Temperature gauge doesn't go beyond first mark even after driving 10 miles or more.
