Recently had the same problem. Changed temp sensor but no change. Bought a new thermostat and everything is good now. Hint: If the temp gauge does move then it's probably the thermostat.

How slowly does it go up? You should be at full running temp with in 2 miles of driving.

Also, when i turn the gears ( switching from park to drive or reverse) the car jerks forward. not the tires but the body itself.
