My 1995 Ford Probe SE, 4 cyl. 2 liter, will overheat just driving it around the block. I just replaced the water pump and it’s working. I replaced all the hoses, the thermostat and flushed out the radiator. Water seems 2 flow through every thing when it’s not put together, but if I put every thing together and start it, I can't get 300 yards with out it overheating. Help Please!
