the 3.1 in my 95 beretta never seems to exceed 1/4 way on the temp gauge
(much of the time it is less than that). also, the heater never seems to get
too hot, nothing like the heater on my buddy's corsica of the same year with
the 2.2l. im guessing my thermostat is stuck open or someone along the line
removed the thermostat. can anyone speak from experience in having this
happen, or any suggestions?

I have a 1999 Corsica with the 2.8, same problem thermostat was stuck.....
Either that or you have a summer thermostat which will open sooner than a
winter one.
My guess, either way I think that is your problem........ hope this helps.
