Any advice or suggestions? My car is overheating(the temp gage rises to hot). I have replaced the thermostat and the radiator cap and their are no
leaks that I can see( no fluid on the ground).

Make sure radiator fan(s) are coming on properly. Purge system to ensure no air is in cooling system.

Check the radiator if its clogged and the water pump -pumping coolant thru out the engine, also if the cooling fan is coming on. Did you bleed the cooling system when you replaced the Stat if not try bleeding it and see what happens.
