You don't have enough coolant in the car & probably have air pockets somewhere in the system. Jack up the rear of the car so the rear tires are 6" to 12" inches off the ground. Pull up on the bleeder valve release lever, to put it in the open position on top of the coolant tank in the trunk. Coolant level should drop. The coolant temp sensor is in the external coolant manifold, bolted to the front of the engine. The temp gauge will not show a reading until coolant reaches it. I believe you have a lot of air pockets to "burp" out. Once you have filled the coolant reservoir, start the engine & run it @ 2500rpm to speed up coolant flow & push out some air from the bleeder valve.
Be careful to not allow the engine to overheat!!
