2000 chevrolet 2.2L automatic. It has all new radiator hoses. a brand new radiator. bought a new thermostat (its possible to buy bad ones), also its not the heater core because there is no leaking on the inside of the car. also the hoses are all stiff when running like they should be. Its not a bad head gasket because we filled it up and ran it (idling) for 30 minutes but the temperature was at 195 (half way up the meter) and the anti-freeze reservoir was steaming out of the overflow hose. We are not sure about the water pump but it seems fine (replaced the Serpentine belt). Also at 195F the electric fan kicks on like it should. I am confused and need help. please 10 points to the person who gives me a good solution. thanks!
