i have a 98 lincoln continental that runs hot in city driving. i have replaced the thermostat, water pump, flushed the radiator and have burped the cooling system. reading other sites this seems to be a common problem. is there a common fix to the overheating problem? (besides turning on the heater)

    runs hot or overheating?? runs hot is one thing but overheating is a terminal issue if you are driving it everyday. did you verify the cooling fans are working?? i hope you have not done internal damage by driving this way.
