I have a 97 taurus... sometimes my car will over heat if i stop at a light... i pulled over threw it in park and checked the fans but they were on.. i took it home and replaced the thermostat.. i bled the cooling system n refillied... i replaced two sensors... but the problem persists... it only happens if im stopped but if i but it in park and rev the gas peddle it quickly goes down..there is no fluid leaking.. no loud noises ... nothing else unusual about my car im just worried.. i have no idea whats wrong[/quote:f51bfcf4d5]

This sounds like a partially plugged radiator. The flow is the lowest when your are stopped in gear. As you rev the engine, the water pump overcomes the restriction. Have the radiator checked for flow at a radiator shop.

thank you so much.. i def will try that
