i had a similar problem where my motor would not get warm and would require much punishing before it hit the half way mark. if i let it idle for a bit, it would fall back down to 1/3 of the gauge and blow cool air. i flushed the coolant, replaced the thermostat, and replaced my cracked overflow. heat gets warm now but still not as hot as i would like it to be but it is better then no heat for the winter. i will probably funk with the heater core come spring.

it reads 1/2 way
