A whole lot of posts about this on this forum...just look down the list. You have a bad thermostat...it's stuck open. Order a 87degree one from www.fcpgroton.com for about $8.00 and change it yourself. It's very easy. Your temp gauage should be at 3:00, winter at the coldest or summer at it's hotest. If it deviates from this, then it's your thermostat or your temperature sensor that is in the themostat housing. Most likely your thermostat though. You'll need a T40 torx bit that is 5 or 6 inches long to get past the fuel rail that's in the way on one of the screws. Just read the other posts and there is plenty of information.
Good luck.
