Question Thermostat 93 Civic

Anyone know how to replace the thermometer for a 93 Civic.

The temp guage in my car never moves and the temperature to my heater is really low. Do you think that it is because of the thermometer?

Yes, that's probably it...

The engine temp guage moves very slightly if at all (sometimes it doesn't move at all even after I've been driving over half an hour). When the engine warms up, it's usually just under midway between the 'C' and 'H'. But it barely passes the 'C' now.

I've replaced the gauge on my Si cluster, have to take the whole thing out of the dash and there's a 6 screw on the back. This is for an Si cluster tho.

What trim level is your car? (Si, DX, Cx, VX)

Joo mean the temp sensor or temp sender unit? I would test this first. But if there is no heat, that's another problem, you sure you have coolant? LOL, for the heat, maybe your heater core is fallin apart.
