might be that the thermostat has stuck!...................... its very commen and they always stick in the open position so keeping the engine cool.
Get it checked though cos running cold all the time will eventually cause borewash and you dont want that!!

There are two temperature sensors on the 20VT - one on the thermostat housing (for the ECU) and one on the block for the dash gauge.

If your temp gauge is just stuck at the lowest level, I'd suspect the wire has come off the sensor - have a look, its on the right hand side of the block (as you look into the engine bay) and just below the throttle body and thermostat housing - its a single wire with a female spade connector
