did you bleed the coolant system when you filled it?

[dr_chocolate513]

How is your water pump? Maybe be the sensor.

At this point, if it's not the water pump, then it's a good chance you have a blown head gasket.

is the fan turning on? if not it could be the thermo switch

could be everything these guys are saying. check for fan oporation first. if that doesnt work, then might be a burned out motor wire or relay. quick way to check if its the head gasket is to open up the radiator cap, let the engine run and see if combustion is leaking into the coolant creating bubbles. if not, check the oil for coolant leakage contamination, also if its getting into your coolant instead it might be brownish or oily looking. you can mistake old rusty coolant for that though so dont jump to conclusions too fast without testing other things. anyways, let us know whats up.
