Try flushing heater core Try flushing heater core
Could be the thermostat is upside-down, or maybe the thermostat needs to be replaced. Could also be air in the system.
I have already replaced the radfiator,cap,thermostat and confirmed water pump works. cools fine w/o radiator cap ,pressure builds and temp. rises when cap in place.
Have you replaced the thermostat?
Is the fan functioning?
sounds like a bad thermostat even though it is replaced
I would guess that the thermostat is not opening at the proper temperature. Once it does open proper circulation brings it down to the correct operating temperature. I think it should be replaced.
Check the thermostat or the radiator. The thermostat could be sticking or the radiator could be plugged.
JUST BOUGHT A 1994 FORD ESCORT FORMER OWNER REPLACED STEERING COLUMN, IGNITION BRAKES NEW CLUTCH. WHEN I AM IDLING OR STOPPING AND STARTING MY ENGINE GETS HOT. WHEN I GO HIWAY OR GET GOING FAST MY ENGINE COOLS OFF. WHAT COULD MY PROBLEM BE. I THOUGHT MAYBE MY THERMOSTAT WAS STICKING UNTIL I REACHED HIGHER SPEED. CANNOT FIND MY THERMOSTAT TO REPLACE IT.

needs a thermostat
Wouldn't be your thermostat, its going to be the fan motor for your cooling system. Because the wind that hits the motor while driving cools the motor but when you come to a stop and idle there isn't anything to cool the motor
Yes it is - only when idling and if I turn the heater on it cools down - thermostat?
your body is like a thermostat because you sweat to cool of and shiver to get warm. With a thermostat if it's cold the thermostat warms your house. When it's warm outside the thermostat cools your house. Thats why your body and a thermostat is a like.
