Sounds like you have covered everything but two.

Check your return hose from the radiator when the car is warm and see if the it is cool. If not, need a new radiator.

More likely, take out your insturment cluster and take it apart until you have the gas and temp cluster out. See the little pins where the electrical contacts are? See all that black crud on the pins? Clean all of that off and also run a small pipe cleaner through the holes on the cluster which make contact on those pins. (Be careful of the cluster to not bend the red indicator wires, they are VERY fragile!)

Put it all back togeather. Let us know how it works out.
