If you are blowing cold air, it probably not a temperature sensor problem. Was the thermostat put in right - side - up??? Also, the sensor wire could have possibly broken or come unplugged while you were installing the new thermostat. And there are only a couple of reasons your only getting cold air now and that is (a) you installed the thermostat wrong or(b) the new one is defective. Remember to replace the coolant. Sounds simple but too many forget too.
It could also be that the small plunger, just to to the left of the spark plugs/toward the back of the engine, is just stuck. Had this happen many years ago. Pull on it and then spray it with lubricant.

Would a thermostat set for a higher temperature keep the heater from blowing hot air?
No. The thermostat controls the flow of water through the radiator, not the heating core. Using a thermostat with a higher temperature rating delay the opening of the thermostat (and the flow of water to the radiator) until that higher temperature is reached. This will cause the coolant to run hotter.

Can an automobile thermostat stick open?
Yes they can stick open or closed. An automobile thermostat is just as likely to stick open as it is to stick shut. Symptoms of a stuck open thermostat are slow to reach normal operating temperature and only warm air blowing from the heater. Symptoms of a stuck closed thermostat are engine over-heating and radiator boil-over.

most thermostats have a degree difference.. what that means is if you have it set on 74 and the degree diffence is set at 4 it will have to get to 70 degrees before shutting off.. but if it gets down past that i would say the thermostat is no good and needs to be replaced.
