Lincoln Continental 2000?

Car keeps overheating! What's the problem?

Ok so I changed my water pump and I changed the thermostat and all because it was overheating. So we thought that it would stop however it is still over heating what could be the problem? How much would in your opinion it cost to get it fixed I would really appreciate it thanks a lot! =) Its not leaking anymore everything is put right but still overheating...Lincoln Continental 2000?if you changed the thermostat and water pump im sure your smart enough to check that the radiator is full of coolant (not the overflow tank)

i'm assuming that you have 50/50 mix not straight antifreeze. also, it may be something insane like the pores in your radiator clogged (not likely though).

i would first check to make sure that all hoses are clear...

then i would check and see if your fan is working. ooh.. that's a good idea... do that first. let the car idle for a while and if the fan doesn't engage then go from there. im not too sure if the fans in a lincoln continental are electric or not. if they are electric then it could be some screwy electronic deal... i hate screwy electronic deals...

Good Luck

(hope you get that 2009 baby :)Lincoln Continental 2000?check your cooling fanLincoln Continental 2000?ok well it should be an electric fan so see if when your temp gets bout half way see if it is on.if not then you have a fuse out for your fan or a relay. check engine light might be on for that one.. next your coolant.. then last but not least on top of thermostat housing or on the line somewhere ther is a release valve to let air bubbles out of the lines.. i bet that is the prob if everything else is fixed
