Your engine is overheating? Really need more specifics here...
1. Check your oil level. You don't want to run your engine without oil.
2. Check your antifreeze level. If the level is good but the car overheats quickly, I would suspect a sticking thermostat. They're inexpensive and easy enough to replace... but a must. You could damage your engine if it overheats.
Hope this helps... Good luck!

Is the coolant level ok? After replacing the thermostat, did you bleed the air from the system? The bleeder should be at the front (on engine near radiator). Low coolant level, or air in the system can cause what you describe.

When driving or sitting still in park? If sitting still, thats the way it is.

you need a new iac valve (idle air control valve) its on/near the throttle body

one thing you can try before you go tearing everything apart, look through your fuse box and ensure that all of the fuses are good. sometimes they are connected to anoter circuit, and if the fuse for that blows, your lights can go with them

WIRE THE FAN DIRECT TO THE BATTERY AND SEE IF IT WORKS IF IT DOES ITS A SWITCH IF NOT ITS THE FAN
