Exclamation Richness and strange idle issue

I'm having a weird idle issue, the problem is my car isn't getting out of the little warm up process and it is running way too hot, it just started happening today. On average my temp. guage would sit at about 1/4 of the way but now it rushes to 3/4 up. So my guess is that a sensor is going out which may lead to my richness problem as well since my car has been running strangely richer than normal. I'm not sure what controls the startup so I'm going to replace my thermostat just in-case, could it be the TPS or the MAF? I don't know hellppp

Thermostat, clog perhaps?

Running rich usually happens when the car is cold.

What kind of thermostat, is it oem? If its stant trash it, if its oem and the original one get a new thermostat, try and blow air through the radiator and see if anything is impeding the flow of coolant, make sure nbothing in front of the radiator is blocking airflow.
