Is the temp gauge going straight to redline as soon as you turn the key when the car is cold? If it is, then your temp sender unit is gone too.

Problem found, thermostat fxxk up need to be replace,

now the car is keep driving for more than 20 mins until in warm temp,

not going to warm up for first 10 mins...

Did you flow test your radiator?

Did you test the thermostat in pot of boiling water? Perhaps there was just an air pocket stopping water from reaching your thermostat
