I just changed my water pump and timing belt, replaced thermostat and upper hose and my car still runs hot. Looking for any solutions to this problem."

Does it run hot when at idle at all? Or only while driving?

When engine is cold, recheck the coolant levelin radiator. Any air in system would cause a higher temperature reading.

Are the cooling fans working?
