Heater works, has anti-freeze, does not over-flow, check gauges light come one. Temperature gauge will not register any temperature for 20 miles and then will just to 200+
Replace the temperature sensor.
Your coolant temperature sensor is bad,it's screwed into engine by thermostat housing,easy to remove,just disconnect electrical connector and get wrench and remove.
SOURCE: 2000 Pontiac Montana temperature gauge stays at zero
Have one doing the same thing, will it hurt anything to let fan run constantly? (leaving on 20 hr trip, no time to have repaired) Where is the wire located?
SOURCE: 2000 Honda Accord - engine overheats when stopped
There are only a couple things you can check. First, I would make sure the gauge is reading properly by checking the fluid temperature manually. Newer model cars have temperature sensors that can malfunction but they will usually set your check engine light off it that is the case. Check your radiator fluid. While the engine is cold!! See if it looks dirty. Rub it between your fingers and see how viscous it feels. Make sure the radiator is full. You may just need to get your radiator flushed. A lack of flow will cause an overheating condition. When your back in motion the engine has more pressure to circulate the fluid. When the car is moving there is airflow that also aids in the cooling process as well. Other than that you have a thermostat which could be sticking and causing it to overheat. Or the water pump is bad. A flush and fill and replacing the thermostat are fairly cheap and usually a lot easier to do than replacing the water pump. Especially on a Honda. Usually you will hear a squealing noise if your water pump is going out and there is, I think it is called a weep hole on the pump itself that will start to leak when the pump is going bad.
SOURCE: Check gauges light comes on
check the colling fan to see if it kicks on at normal opperating temp 210'
it culd be air in the cooling system
if there is no leakes it could be a leaking haed gaskit
SOURCE: 2000 Nissan Altima temperature gauge and heater problem
sounds like you need to replace the thermostat.
SOURCE: Car Overheats after 12 to 15 minutes of running. Temperature decreaes when I accelerate.
your fan is the problem...it's not turning fast enough to cool the engine off. I need more info on what type of fan you have....elec fan or a clutch fan?

If
all voltages checked ok, then most probably its faulty instrument cluster board
on which gauges are connected. Yes if cluster circuit board looks ok, then also
it can be faulty. Somewhere there is minute short or burn on board then such
problem arises.
Also
check the fuse box. One under hood and other under dash.
Inspect
each and every fuse and see if all are fine or not.
