Cooling System Temp gauge doesn't move and heater blows cold air and when I accelerate the gauge goes up and it starts to blow hot air. I'm not losing any water and coolant looks good as well as the oil so i've ruled out the head gasket. possibly the thermostat?

No you have air trapped in the cooling system, rasie the front of the car up as high as you can get it, fill the coolant bottlre to the top and run the engine for about 15 minutes at a high idle, let it cool down, it should purge itself of air once it is cool, make sure your radiator cap is good.
Thanks for the rating! Glad to help. I was a Ford dealer tech for 20 years, seen most everthing, but learned the air bleed trick while working on Fiat's, you know those Itailian cars.
