whats wrong now?
i drove my car to work this morning..and when i started the car.. the air intake temps was about 3 degrees on my Commander. and it was a cold morning. and usually during cold mornings my intake temps stay around 29-39 degrees. but today i noticed my temps would be around 45-48 degrees. its really unusual for a cold day as today ..
whats is wrong with it? do i have a bad thermostat or something?

That reads from the air intake temp sensor that's on the underside of the upper intake manifold. It should read pretty close to the ambient temp first thing in the morning - 3 deg. C is about 35 deg. F or so - was it that cold this morning?
If the reading is off, you might need a new intake temp sensor. The thermostat will only affect water temps. The only fault could be in the sensor or something really goofy with the wiring to the sensor.
