It really does sound like the thermostat is your culprit, mine acted very similar when the thermostat was failing in the open position. Try letting the car idle for 5 to 10 minutes and see if the temp guage rises at all (and you get a little heat...).

Also, depending on the mileage of your car, it might be wise to replace the water pump (part #11510393338) at the same time for some preventative maintenance insurance...
Thanks so much! I have found the following
1
2
3

Not sure if any are better than the others. Do I also need to replace the housing or gasket in the housing at this time?
