It could be the thermostat. It could be stuck open and letting the coolant continually flow throughout the block, not letting it get hot, at least for a good many miles. I would check to see if the block is hot, after letting it idle for awhile, if it is then it is a temp sensor

On most cars it is called temp sensor.

Usually called Water temperature, sensor, sender, or thermistor.

Air intake temperture sensor.
Don't ask for the "air intake sensor" - this is the MAF (Mass Air Flow)!!

Give your local dealer a ring and ask the experts!
