Default 2002 focus zx3 overheating when stopped
I am having problems with my 02 focus zx3 overheating. the temperature is fine when I am driving, but if it is warm outside or i have been driving for awhile once i stop at a light or get stuck in traffic the temperature goes up until i start driving. i already replaced the thermostat, any ideas? thanks.

Check to make sure the electric cooling fan(s) is working. Did you use a Motorcraft Tstat? Is it the correct temp for your car?
