ok, i see lots of stuff about the heat and sender units here but maybe someone can tell me what is going on here.

problem,
only when it is really cold(like -10C and below) my 92 ex takes a long time to heat up. while she is heating she will blow cold air. as i start driving the temperature gauge will raise( it usually does not ) then as it drops off i get the heat.
very odd.
coolant is good, no leaks.
no coolant in the engine oil or no film at oil cap so i do not suspect heads. thermostat was replaced last year and this problem is still here.

any ideas ?
 






I'd try the T-stat again....could just be a bad one. BTW what is -10C in F?
