Hey guys, I had the same exact problem with my Taurus, first I replaced the thermostat, that didnt work. So then i finally figured out it was the water pump, the bearing was fine but the fins were completely rusted off. You will be able to tell because the fan kicks in and its not leaking fluid but it overheats when it idles. so what you have to do is just replace your water pump. look at the coolant too, if theres a lot of rust in it that means its ur water pump.
