The car runs fine but if the car is stoped the temperature gage goes up and then reciently the car gets to near red line. Iv put new water pump, thermostate, engine coolant moves threwout system, but overflow bottel doesnt add or take any out, and when near red line coolant comes out of cap.

Hi there,

check the pressure cap is working correctly. Are fans coming on? Have the radiator flow tested, start here.
