Icon6 1995 Honda Accord temp issues

I have a 1995 Accord My temperature gauge goes all the way up to the red while idling once i start moving it goes down really fast to normal i replaced fan switch sensor, temp sensor, gauge sensor and condenser sensor and replaced thermostat and the water pump works and no leak in the radiator and it had been flushed four months ago and the radiator fluid is not low. I did purchased the sensors from Kragen and Monument. Please help me out what else can be wrong with my honda

Did you purge the system of air? There is a nipple on the intake manifold.

This is a classic symptom of your fan not working. Did you check to see if your fan is working?

If you bought an aftermarket thermostat, what happens a lot of times is you get the wrong one for your car. If you ever buy a thermostat, make sure to look inside the bottom casing, it shows your opening tempurature, the temperature that the thermostat opens, it should be the same as the one you buy from the store. Also, when you fill the radiator up, always open the bleeder hole first and make sure you have the heater control dial turned all the way to red.

Also, do your fans work?
