It sounds as tho you have a water problem, your engine may be overheating and semi seizing. Before you do some severe damage to the engine go to a Mechanic and get his opinion. It may be best if you go to a dealer mechanic, or a Auto Club mechanic.

Your 1997 escort only heats when you are not driving?
Chances are your thermostat is stuck open. Your cars thermostat sits in a coolant passage. When the car is running your coolant begins to heat up, and at a certain temperature your thermostat opens up and lets coolant flow to the radiator to dispel the heat of the engine to the air. When your thermostat is stuck open, instead of the coolant staying in the engine until it heats up it is constantly circulating through the radiator transferring heat to the atmosphere. When your cars sits still it heats up because the amount of air passing through the radiator is minimal, but as you begin to drive the air flow is increased.

What does driving in second gear do to a Lexus driving on high way speed?
Well, driving at highway speeds in any vehicle in 2nd gear, will raise the RPM of the engine, meaning that the engine is working that much harder to maintain the speed. As the engine constantly revs at a higher RPM, it heats up alot quicker, which in the end could do alot of damage to your car. And if its a Lexus, i would advise to SWITCH gears and keep an eye on your RPM and temperature gauge

Golf 4 gti overheats but radiator stays coolwhat could be the problem?
Your thermostat is stuck closed. you will need to replace it. The thermostat controls the circulation through the radiator - when the engine heats up the thermostat is meant to switch circulation from just-engine to engine+radiator. Sounds like this isn't happening.
