I had the camshaft sensor replaced and now my car runs hotter than normal. It seems to get hotter as I stop at red lights or stop signs. I've added coolant recently and intend to burp the system tonight. I know it could be several things, but have no clue what to search for next if burping doesn't work.

Good afternoon,

There is no connection between the sensor replacement and the heating up.

It sounds like the cooling fans are not working. That would make it run hot at idle but cool down when moving

I attached a diagram for you to view.
