You have an 1994 ford tempo and have replaced the thermostat and water pump and it continues to overheat periodically and run out the over flow?

The cooling system has probably been compromised with radiator solder seal or radiator sealant. After the vehicle is warmed up, use your hand to carefully feel the temperature of the air flow through the radiator. It should be warm all over. If there is a cold spot, then there are plugged portions of the core. Since it only overheats periodically, the cold spot may be relatively small. If you can detect the overheating event while driving, turn the heater on full to cool it down. If this trick works, you definitely do not have sufficient radiator function.

My temp gaugebmw 318 e46 rises for no reason can anyone help already replaced the thermo sensor?
Does that mean that you replaced the thermostat AND the sensor? If not, you really need to replace the thermostat.

Don't let it overheat or you might be buying a new engine.
