The needle is getting stuck at the top of the gauge. Take face plate off and bend the edge of gauge down so not to get stuck up There again! If the gauge is not moving then I would suspect that. If your car starts and runs and the engine gets warm and the radiator gets warm and you can get heat out of your heater then yoru thermostat is okay. Make sure your temp sending unit, which should be out near the thermostat housing, is connected. If you find it, pull off the connection and make sure the connection is clean. If you start the car and only the motor gets hot, do not overheat the engine. If the engine gets above operating temp and the radiator stays cold, then it may be the thermostat or a broken water pump.

The top radiator hose is above the thermostat. If the top radiator hose is hot, the thermostat is opening. The thermostat is not the problem. Perhaps the radiator is clogged up or the water pump is bad. Look elsewhere.
