i had this problem when i got my car back for about 20min. mechanic found that it was the thermostat. it was stuck shut. i'm not sure if you have a new one or not but it could be your problem...they're cheap to replace and isn't too hard.

i had that problem and found out my overflow bottle was missing [i have no idea how, but i poped the hood and it was just gone], not that something that oblivious would be your problem... but let me get this right, you replaced almost everything under the hood [engine, radiator, tranny, etc.]? mabey a bad sensor?

ya everything but i did get it back to the shop and appears that they put in wrong or used a bad gasket on the water pump this wasn't so clear the other night due to the fact there was no water left in the radiator so i saw no leak hopfully this car will be finish by tomorrow thanks guys
