Coolant emptying when idleing or at a stop. In-between ok.

Stuck-open thermostat would cause it to over-cool, not what you're seeing.
But FIRST, what kind of car are we talking about?
Just to rule out a bad head-gasket, you can use a kit to detect combustion gas coming from the radiator neck.
What does the temperature gauge do when idling? Does the electric fan come on after the gauge rises a bit?

Lurrrrrp
It's 95 accord vss is out it's a auto 16valve engine. It seems to be fine temp wise unless I'm moving but my hoses to thermostat seem squishy. I'm used to working on Ford's myself,(thank God nomore) but I believe my thermostat could be closed**** have new radiator in past 4 months and all seems good I have my new thermostat and gasket/sealer. It smells like burning coolant at stops To some points. and thinking I'm gonna check the hose clamps on all hoses tommorow. D4 light on too. I need this to make it through a few weeks hopefully, then a few more any ideas are greatly appreciated thank you

You mention a new thermostat? Do you mean you've already put the new one in? IIRC, it only fits in the correct way, unless you force something. The long end of the T-stat only fits one way, and there's a little place for the pin/vent to fit, so you should pay attention to all that and it'll go the right way.
