Default ECT Location

I am definitely not getting up to temp as quickly as I should on the gauge. From reading it seems as though this could be attributed to the ECT. Is that right? If so, where is the ECT located? Tips on changing it? I have searched for a while now and am still unclear. Thanks!

Default I hate to ask the obvious question, but where do you live? Is it starting to get cold out?

When it gets below 50 degrees outside, it takes at least 3x as long for my gauge to move to the 12 o'clock position. Just thought I would ask..

I live in Denver, and yes it was 28 degrees when I was experiencing this. However, after 6 miles of highway driving I would have thought for sure it should be more than halfway there. Even more telling than that was that it had stopped moving in the upward direction for the last two miles.
