two things to look at, #1, radiator cap is faulty, its a cheap fix, $6-7.00 at the auto parts store. The water pump may also be faulty, which will leak fluid from a seep hole under the pump housing. Open the hood, find the fan blade (Be sure car is not started) and the where the fan connects is the water pump. Grab the fan, and move it up and down. If it moves or leaks, then the water pump needs replaced. Also check the heater core to determine if fluid is leaking in the interior. Good Luck your thermostat may stuck in the closed position.

Why is 93 ford probe V6 GT overheating. I replaced radiator and water pump 1 year ago. I replaced thermostat 2 weeks ago. What is the problem?
If your 1993 Ford Probe V6 GT is still overheating after replacing the radiator, water pump, and thermostat, the issue could be a clogged coolant passage, a malfunctioning fan, or air trapped in the cooling system. Additionally, check for leaks in hoses or the head gasket, which could lead to coolant loss or poor circulation. Make sure the cooling fan is operating properly, as inadequate airflow can contribute to overheating. Lastly, consider testing the engine for any internal issues that could be causing excessive heat.
