the car runs ok, but when in parking, waiting for green light or going bunpmper to bumper in slow traffic the engine temperature start going up, a soon as the traffic start going fast then the temperature goes down, I replace the thermostate and I don't know what to do anymore
Thanks for your help

most likely the problem is due to a coolant fan not working.
