It sure sounds like thermostat to me. Did something get caught in the thermostat when you were installing it so that it won't close? That's a puzzle for me if the engine won't really get warm. Make sure your mechanical linkage between the dash "hot/cold" slide lever and heater valve is working properly. Also, you might have a clog in your heater core loop.

My temp gaugebmw 318 e46 rises for no reason can anyone help already replaced the thermo sensor?
Does that mean that you replaced the thermostat AND the sensor? If not, you really need to replace the thermostat. A sticking thermostat can cause temperature swings and potentially overheat the engine. BTW, BMW engines tend to have serious problems when they overheat. Don't let it overheat or you might be buying a new engine.

Why would a 92 Eclipse push water back through the thermostat housing and overheat?
The thermostat is most likely stuck in the closed position and needs to be replaced. The closed thermostat does not allow the coolant to circulate through the radiator, thus overheating the engine. The reason for water being pushed through the thermostat housing is because the water pump is spinning and there is no place for the coolant to go, therefore, it is leaking out through the housing gasket which is probably already blown (need to replace it when you replace the thermostat.

Why does the thermostat in my car stay on cold?
i think the reason might be your cooling system, check the basics. the basic would be to see if there is low coolant in your engine when it is cold and in the radiator. If that is fine then check the thermostat located in your cars engine. It might be open and not checking your cars temperature right or might need to get replaced.
