Default Another CRV overheating problem...???

for some reason, when the temperature gets hot over 90+ my temp is going up (duh), almost all the way up, when the car is not moving the temp goes up quick, but when i drive itll go back to normal temp...

i just changed the thermostat
both fans are working

the heater is not hot, im guessing theres no water flow....thats why i changed the thermostat 2 days ago, and it worked...

and now im having the same problem...what the ****..
is there a sensor that im missing...

Jack front of it up, open radiator ( MAKE SURE IT"S COLD) turn on car, turn to HOT and ALL the way up, let it run for quite awhile, letting the fans come on and off a couple times, and add coolant as needed/ keeping the rad full.

thanks i found the problem, im fricking burning coolant! thats why **** smoking when i step on the gas from the stop...like a cloud of white smoke would come out when i step on it from the stop...i checked the coolant and its low/empty...and theres no leak at all..and i just filled it up not to long ago when i changed thermostat... also, it takes a while for it to start...im guessing because theres a head gasket leak...explains why its taking forever to start..compression might be off...ugh
