Clogged radiator. Pull off upper hose and run water through it via hose and see if it flows out bottom of radiator. If flow is good, try flushing engine like this and see if it is blocked. Also, make sure you have it full of fluid and if you can, bleed air out of it.

2004 Ford Taurus water not circulating

DON'T run the engine for too long if your getting steam. That will risk over heating problem putting other engine parts at risk of damage.
How are you testing for circulation? Coolant systems are usually pressurised when the engine is running so a pressure leak somewhere in the system could be the problem, The bleeder valve could be part of that.
Try checking the basics first. Do you have enough coolant in the system? When the thermostat opens, the coolant level can drop.
Check the routing of the belt for the water pump. Sometimes if the belt is set up wrong it can spin the pump backwards causing issues.
There are also times where a new part can be faulty. I had this happen with a new wheel bearing that lasted just 150 miles before it started making noise like it was going to fail.

Car is not over heating but the water isn't circulating and heater doesn't get hot if i am not moving

You need to bleed the air out of the cooling system. Google a search of the way to do this.

1991 Lincoln Town car overheating

The year of the vehicle, rusty liquid, and overheating, says your radiator could use a replacement. If it was your water pump, you would have liquid coming out of the water pump itself.

1991 town car has no heat. What can be the problem?

He probably changes the heater core or checks to see if the heater core is circulating the coolant through. If the blower is not working he will check the Resistor and plug near the heater blower under the dash. Both are under the dash. have you replaced the thermostat ? If you do, after refilling with coolant, bleed the sysytem using the bleeding screw at the outlet of the thermostat until only coolant comes out.
