A little late but hope you see this. higher than normal temps and heats up with acceleration, overheats going uphill. It's not leaking but I think the pump can't keep up with the engine to increase flow on acceleration because it is fine at idle but about 10-20 degrees above normal. Any thought are appreciated please.
On 2003 toyota sedan, new heat temp sensor, new tempostat, bled the system. Car radiator fan comes on and stays on. Head guage goes up but then when switch off and start again it goes to half. The is no water returning to the radiator from the engine, and then steams up. Could this be the water pump
Thank you for replying, the blades on the water pump were all broken. Changed the w. Pump problems sorted.

Check serpentine belt. If it is too tight it may prevent pump to run. I have dedicated video on it. Please check that out

Yes it could be. You also need to check serpentine belt.
