Did you check the vacuum line on the passenger side of the intake?

you coolant isn't bleed right. Best thing to do is BEFORE you install the t-stat, I always like to fill the coolant right there where the t-stat goes, that way you fill the engine with coolant that drained outa there. Cause if you think about it there's NO coolant in the waterpump when you first put it back on, so when you fill the system back up the waterpump has no coolant to move around yet. Just fill it up completly and start the car and open op those bleed screws and that should help.

That's definately your problem though
