Did you bleed the air out of the cooling system?

Do the rad fans come on, while the car is running, when it starts to overheat?

yeah i got the air out of the line and the fans work im starting to think that the car may not even be running hot when the tempertr hand rises because i sat at home this morning and let it idle for ten mins it took six before the fan jump on. when the fan jumped on the car was not running hot but when i heard the fan jump on the temp. hand jumped from were it should be to 3/4 of the way hot and it instantly came back down lol. if it sounds confusing im sorry but i witness this, this morning and that the best way i can explain it. also i went to let the window up (power windows) and as i held the button the temp hand went up i let it go the temp. hand came back down. any body have a clue wats going on with it let me know but as of now im just keeping a eye on the aintifreeze and driving it to work only i have another car to drive so until i can figure out which way to go im not going to keep dumping money in it.
