have you checked to see if your fan is turning on, open up the hood when it does it and see if the fan is turning on. That would be my first guess based on the fact it is doing it while it is sitting still.

is there any air in the system, have you tried bleeding it, that would be my next guess, i mean you could try replacing the thermo, but i like to get every free possibility out of the way before i buy something
