1986 Toyota MR2 mileage: 190,000. My 1986 Toyota MR-2 has not ever given me any problems until now. Recently, it has been taking a long time for the car to warm-up. In the mornings, I'll drive 20 or 30 miles before the needle on the temperature gauge will rise enough to hit the "C" and now that the weather's turned cold, it's taking a long time to get any heat from the heater. What do you think the problem is?

Sounds like the thermostat is stuck open. Replacing it should solve your problem.
