I have the same problem. After replacing the waterpump and after vacuum purging the coolant, once the temp reaches operating temp, if I let the car idle, it never cools down, the fans wont shut off and the temp creeps up past the second white line, past the 0 on 180 at which point I shut the motor off.
I guess I'll try cleaning the rads.
Would a bad thermo cause this? I would think that if it sticks closed, the motor will just overheat.
As long as I am driving or as long as I bump the idle up while not moving, the temp will go down.
