Alright, hey guys. My Names Austin.. I'm a Toyota newb.. Lol alright so my problem is, the car is over heating. It is a 2006 Corolla 1.8s It will idle all day without over hearing. But when you drive it temp goes stright up.. I bought it like this.. Previous owner change, water pump, thermostat, temp sensor, and radiator.. But it's still over heating. So head gasket maybe? But it has no system of head gasket blown.. No oil/coolant mix, no loss of power.. Nothing. Only thing it seems like to me is a air bubble.. It'll get hot but neither raditor hoses have any pressure at all on them.. Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks in advance guys!

Are/is the cooling fans working properly? Check wiring.
Can you notice a drop in coolant level in the radiator?
Are you sure the previous owner did All the things you stated?
Take the thermostat out and see if the vehicle still over heats without it.
Last thing I would try is a block sealer additive to see if that helps as a temporary diagnostic. Then you'll know if you need to dive into the head gasket.
Let's hope it's not a cracked block but simple like a sensor, thermostat or intermittent cooling fan wire or relay.
Good Luck!
