My Toyota with a 22r takes about 20 minutes to produce heat. Could this be a broken thermostat?

Any other ideas?


Thanks

Thermo is stuck in the open position. Had this on my wife's Tercel last winter - what stupid place to put a thermostat!:cwm10: What in many vehicles is a 10-15 min job turned into a 2 hr finger grinder.
