1998 Chevrolet Cavalier cooling system

I was letting you know the cooling fan is working properly to the best of my knowledge, however the temperature does not come down unless you turn on the heater. It is not normal for the needle TO be all the way over almost to the red. Has never done this before prior to the last month, what else could you eliminate with out just replacing parts to eliminate possibilities. Water pump Replaced a few months ago, temp sensor and coolant cap replaced yesterday, no visible leaks.

I am not confused about the temperature range, the last five years the temperature gauge has never been past the middle, it has no numbers so not sure of the actual temperature, but I do know it is alot farther right, it seems to be running hotter according to the gauge, no water loss, no steam or smoke, no obvious problems and the parts that I mentioned in my earlier texts that have been replaced.

This was one of the things I mentioned in my first text, the only way it will come down is to turn the heater on and let it blow for a few minutes. At night no problems, you can drive slow fast idle the needle never gets past halfway no matter how you drive, I don't know what the problem is, but there is one.

Now I understand why your site is free, you can't even understand the question.

Then why does the temperature needle almost touch the red, that's not normal for it to be way over there.
