Question Problems....yikes

Ok, I have a 96 coupe with a 2.2 liter. So my car starts over heating, so my dad replaced the theromostat in it. Well the temp only goes up if I have it in neutral for 5 min or longer, and my low coolent light constantly stays on since we put the new thermostat in it. Nothing is leaking, and all the fluids are full. When I'm driving it the temp guage is fine no problems...any ideas?

When it overheats at idle, check if the cooling fan is coming on.
