my car takes a really long time to warm up i usually warm it up for 5 mins but the temp line is still on the bottom if i go ahead and drive it it bogs when its not fully warmed up

what can be the problem ?

thanks

It shouldn't bog though.

check your thermostat if it's really taking long to warm up, and make sure your coolant temp sensor isn't fubar or something.

i agree with thermostat either being stuck open or not there.

do you have your fans wired in to ignition power? basically they're on whenever the key's on?

those bout the only 2 things it could be

does it make funny airplane noises when you drive it.... if so, it could be your clutch fan

replace coolant temp sensor+thermostat for starters. both easy and relatively cheap
