No the water pump doesn't stop, but it will slow down to whatever you idle speed is, usually about 800 - 900 RPM. When you are driving you RPM's will probably be around 3,000, depending on the vehicle and engine. Slower RPM's means your coolant is not being circulated as fast. You could have a partially blocked radiator which means not as much coolant is going through as should be and when you are sitting at idle for any length of time your temperature may start to climb. You can check this by turning on your heater to pull heat out of the system and help cool the engine, if this works there is a good chance your radiator needs to be cored.

nope ! you just have 1 thermostat. if your not getting heat the probably the heater core needs flushing.if it,s overheating the it could be the radiator, water pump or the the fan not kicking on.
Answer. There is only one thermostat.



What doesn't make sense if the rest of your post. It's a lot of words, many misspelled, that say nothing.
The water pump does not stop running. And No there is not another thermostat. Maybe the guy did not bleed the cooling system. Air bubbles accumulate in the cooling system if it is not bled. Let the car get cooled off. Then remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level. If it needs coolant fill it and run the car while doing it so the coolant will get into the radiator. Replace the cap. Find the 'bleeding' screw near the thermostat housing. It uses a regular flathead screwdriver . Run the engine to operating temperature the fans should turn on after a while. Turn the bleed screw counter clockwise until all the air is out and the only thing coming out is coolant. If you can't find a bleed screw, turn the radiator cap very slowly until the coolant starts coming out into the reservoir. Use something to protect your hands. be cery careful. DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP. Only sligtly turn it until you hear the air come out.
