Why is my 2001 Ford Focus overheating even after replacing the thermostat radiator fan assembly radiator cap and coolant?
For me the fan was not turning on and the car got hot. In the meantime, I would turn the a/c on to get the other fan to kick in and the motor would cool off.
I got tired of doing that and I asked my dear old dad to help. This is what he did:
My 83 year father figured it out without spending a dime. (Ford dealer wanted $95 dollars just to look at it!)
#1 Look at the fan shroud and locate the sensor that goes into the shroud. Remove the sensor from the shroud and and disconnect it from each other.
#2 Clean the inside of the connectors. Mine were filthy.
#3 Put back together.
Ford should know this already. My father was in disbelief on why the connection was'nt better protected.

If you are replacing a water pump will this stop a car from overheating?
Replacing a bad water pump can help to stop a motor from overheating. Hopefully that was the cause of the overheating. If it does not stop the overheating, try replacing the thermostat. Make sure you have the proper mix of antifreeze and water, the radiator filled with it. Check the level of coolant FIRST. Next, the hoses, and third the thermostat. Then, disconnect a hose and see if, by starting the vehicle, if there's water pressure. If not, its water pump time!

After putting in all new radiator water pump and thermostat it is still overheating?
If your vehicle is still overheating after replacing the radiator, water pump, and thermostat, there may be several potential issues. Check for air trapped in the cooling system, as this can impede coolant flow. Additionally, inspect for leaks in hoses or the radiator, and ensure that the radiator is not clogged. Finally, consider the possibility of a malfunctioning temperature sensor or an issue with the engine itself, such as a blown head gasket.
If still overheating after replacing thermostat water pump and flushing radiator you can run for approx 5 miles before overheating Is this a blow head gasket?
Very possibly. You can check a spark plug and see if they are wet or you can see if there is gasoline in the coolant liquid.
