i have a 97 taurus 24 valve 3.0 v6 duratech engine.
on the thruway i accelerated to pass a vehicle at the toll a few minutes later my car stalled and i realized it was overheated.
afterwards i replaced the radiator due to a failed pressure test i believe i got all the air out of the lines burped them and tilted the car to one side and ran it, i also replaced the thermostat, the fans are working as they should, there has been a low coolant light on in the dash for about three years now i never fixed that because a few mechanics told me it didn't need to be done, i always kept an i on the level of the coolant after that.
The engine still overheats, recap... replaced the radiator, replaced the thermostat, burped all the lines.
about a year ago i replaced the water pump.
what else could be causing the engine to overheat could it be the water pump or is there something im not thinking about, is there a censor or something i dont know about that could cause this??
