Did you ever find an answer to this question? My 2002 Focus is doing the same thing. The water pump and thermostat have been replaced, but the temperature gauge still show that it gets hot if I drive the car for about 30 minutes in stop and go traffic. If I slow down or stop, I will see the needle move. Once I get going, it will come back down to normal or will do so once the fans kick in.
