I have a 95 240sx that shows to be overheating have replaced thermostat, radiator, radiator cap, and coolant temperature sensor. When at idle needle shows to be in the middle but when I go to drive within 5 minutes the needle goes up once I stop driving and rev the engine needle goes back down and let it idle and needle goes back up. Wanted to see if anyone is having the same issue

If all that was replaced, there's probably air stuck somewhere. It needs a good burping.

Park the car on a level surface... let it cool down. Open up radiator cap, find the bleeder screw, by the manifold (above the temp sensor), where the top hose goes ... open up that screw... add coolant to the radiator until the coolant starts leaking from that bleeder screw. Problem solved
