You should try checking your coolant level, make sure it is always full. Does the car ever over heat to the point where you can't drive it or does the temperature gauge just show that it's hot?

When stopped the temperature gauge goes up to near high?

There is a good chance that your radiator cooling fan is not working properly. Some vehicles have a mechanical clutch that causes the radiator fan to operate when the vehicle is stopped or at low speeds. These clutches can wear out and need replacement. Other vehicles have an electric radiator fan that is controlled by a thermostat placed somewhere in the vehicle's engine coolant flow. Electric fans can malfunction and not pull enough air through the radiator to keep it properly cooled. The electric cooling fan's thermostat can go bad too.

Why does your temperature gage go up when at a stand still Doesn't matter what temperature outside Replaced thermostat and had hoses and fans checked?

Most modern cars are designed so that air will be ducted through the radiator when moving. The cooling fan does not run until the engine reaches a certain temperature, which is close to the boiling point. When stopped, there is no airflow through the radiator, so the temp goes up. If stopped long enough, during warm days, the cooling fan will come on. Your car is operating normally.

That means the engine is running HOT are overheating. Check engine coolant level, Thermostat may be BAD. Possible Fan clutch bad, Radiator stopped up. CHECK COOLING SYSTEM.
