Nissan Altima Thermostat Problem
When I start my car in the morning to let it warm up, it never warms up while sitting idle. No matter how long I let it warm up it never does until i've been driving for about 15 minutes. Could this be a problem with the thermostat?

Yes, most likely the thermostat is stuck open or missing. Does the gauge show snything after 5 minutes if engine running?

When it's sittin still the gauge does not move, but after driving for about 10 minutes it starts to move

This might be electrical instead of temperature problem. It could be the gague that is causing the problem.
