Check the timing belt Answer - My 99 Protege was leaking out coolant slowly out of the water pump. A seal on it had gone bad and the pump needed to be replaced. Haven't had a leak or an overheat since new pmp was installed.

Would suggest checking the ignition timing as this can cause overheating if not set correctly

Not sure if these have one but it could be a bad thermostat.
You have a 99 Ford Escort with overheating problems on it on and off you know that the fan works because you tested it what could be the reason for it to over heat?
Sounds like you could have a low water/anti freeze level, bad thermostat, or clogged radiator or clogged engine passages. Usually if the thermostat is causing the overheating it is stuck in the closed position and the car will overheat within a few minutes after starting it.

That would be the thermostat.
What is wrong with my 95 Celica I was driving I noticed my battery light come on. 5 minutes later my check engine light. Then my car's hood exhaust filled the air with white smoke. PLEASE help?
Not sure about the battery light, but the overheating is most likely a stuck closed thermostat. You may test the thermostat to verify if it is working by starting the engine while it is relatively cool. Hold the upper radiator hose toward the radiator as the engine warms up. Periodically check the temp gauge to prevent overheating. If the thermostat is working properly, the upper radiator hose should get quite hot and feel pressurized as the temperature gauge rises into the normal zone. If the guage starts to read hot and you have not felt a distinct temperautre increase in the hose, the thermostat is sticking closed. Also, make sure the thermostat installed is the correct rating for your enigne and that it is not installed backwards. The pellet on the thermostat goes toward the engine. When replacing a thermostat, make sure and replace the gasket as well.

ask your service station to do a compression test. I had the same problem and replaced all sensors and thermostat but after the test it was found out that there was a crack in the housing holding the thermostat
