I have a 2001 Ford Focus SE model . It has a 2.0 dual overhead cam engine with 97000 miles . The last few days the engine has indicated it's over heating . The gauge goes into the red zone .The last few days we have had 100 degree temps.The coolant fan is running . I replaced the thermostat with no help . I felt the hoses and there was no pressure to them . So I replaced the cap and still no pressure and still overheating . What to check for next ?

Have you checked the coolant level in the radiator when the engine is cold?

Not sure how I would go about that ? I have been checking the fill tank . It's full warm and some movement just not much ?

That's OK. You have a pressurized tank so that's just as good.

Something isn't adding up here. Are you sure it's actually getting that hot and the gauge isn't wrong? I would try using a laser thermometer on the thermostat housing itself to see how hot it's getting.
