Engine Wont Warm Up ?

I know my water temp should be from 160-210 but right now in the winter time in california I can't get the water temp past 130. So I am thinking that the thermostat is not opening? Or could it be a faulty gauge?

actually if it's not warming up it'll be quite the opposite and it's stuck open

check your heat output from the heater if it actually is a warm up problem due to a faulty thermostat then the air output from the heater ducts will be luke warm to moderate.....if it's really hot then I'd lean towards it being a gauge issue
