Default Car loses heat while driving

2001 Honda Civic lx
Great heat at idle
Does not overheat at anytime
Replaced temp sensor
Within two mile of driving car temp stats to drop and loses all heat
Let sit idle for 10 minutes and temp goes back up and car gives off heat

Your thermostat is stuck open... if you watch your temperature needle, you should also see the temperature drop on gauge at the same time that you lose the warm air coming through the vents. When you stop the car and no longer have cold air being forced through the radiator, things will warm back up.
