MY 2003 FORD ESCAPE IS RUNNING HOT. I HAVE REPLACED THE THERMOSTATE AND THE WATER HOSE AND THE HOSE TO THE WATER HOSE. AS SOON AS I DRIVE IT, IT RUNS HOT. NOW IT IS PARKED AT A GAS STATION AND I'M WAITING FOR IT TO COOL OFF. I NEED HELP QUICK

Over heating can be caused by many things. It could be a plugged radiator, thermostat (which you replaced), a timing issue (worn timing belt), a plugged catylatic converter (will have power loss), or it may not actually be overheating (bad temp sending unit sending a false reading to the gauge), a bad head gasket. Has the coolant actually boiled over?
