[kendal_jones]

Is the radiator fan working? How old is the thermastat?

Is enough air getting through the condenser / radiator? Rad / coolant hose blockage?

turn your heat off

the fan is not cuting on it comes on when i pull codes thats about it but the temp gauge says normal.

The fan does come on when you pull codes? If yes, then your problem is most likely a faulty ECT. Get a motorcraft one and replace it - it is the sensor that tells the computer to turn the fan on.

Their have been cases of people getting faulty sensors from autozone or kragen....

Well, is the car actually overheating?

i really can't tell i go by the temp gauge but the car does get hot when i drive. i can feel the heat from the engine inside the car also i did get that sensor from autozone.

What do you mean you can feel it inside the car? Do you have the heater on, or the window down or what?

yeah i have the window down but it just feels like there is more heat inside the car while iam driving.

Is the heater on? Engine heat does not commonly transfer itself into the cabin like that - even if it is overheating.
