What is the problem when your car keeps running hot and you change the thermostat and coolant?

Pressure test the cooling system, or a leak down test to determine if its a blown head gasket. Combustion gases can leak into the cooling system via a blown headgasket, causing air bubbles, not allowing the coolant to circulate and causing an overheating engine.

Coolant not getting hot enough for thermostat to open?
Usually this is not the case. It looks like a bad thermostat, because no way the coolant is not getting hot, but a rusted up thermostat would not open for the coolant to circulate. If I were you I will change the thermostat first than check the water pump.

What is error code p0128 in Chevy Impala?
P0128: Engine Coolant Temperature is below the Thermostat Regulating Temperature Basically the Computer sees that the engine is running too cold. It could be that the thermostat is stuck open and the engine is actually too cold. Or it could be a bad temperature sensor, wiring to the sensor, or the PCM (computer) has a problem and is making a mistake. I would probably replace the thermostat and ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) Sensor first because both are inexpensive and relatively easy to change.
