Thermostat-the engine will be hot but the radiator not hot. RADIATOR- It is hot on the top but not the bottom. Head gasket or crack in head or block-spark plug will be wet and or bubbles coming up in the radiator while being run with the thermostat removed(get test fluid at auto shop). Bugs or dirt in the outside of the radiator. Ignition timing is late. Engine block was bored oversize too much.
No.
Yes it could
The Taurus could overheat for several reasons. The coolant could be low, the fan might not be operating properly, or the engine could have a stuck thermostat.

Yes, a restricted or leaking radiator can cause the engine to overheat.
First check the truck for coolant leaks, make sure the coolant level is o.k. If it is there could be a blockage in the radiator or hoses if you have no idea what you are doing take it to an automotive repair facility an overheat could cause severe engine damage
Yes it could.
Air bubbles still trapped in the system
A lot of things could be causing that. First did you check your coolant?
my air is cold, and car does not overheat but the fan does not work
Hey Dee ann==Not simply idleing the engine. If you had an extra load on it to cause it to overheat this could cause it. GoodluckJoe
It could be the radiator is clogged. The thermostat could be bad (prevents the coolant from circulating from radiator to engine block)
