overheating-I give up

["Brad Sayer" <vwrocco85@hotmail.com>]

Looks like its time to give up and actually bring this car to a mechanic.

Problem:
Car runs at at least 3/4 of temp guage or higher, with oil temps over 120.  
This is at idle in 60 degree weather, no AC.  Fan cycles on and off, but 
only at 3/4 or higher.

Attempted solutions:
Replaced - fan switch, thermostat, temp sender
All hoses are fine.  Not leaking coolant.  Had radiator flow tested and was 
fine.  Flushed several times, coolant runs clean.
Ran car with upper radiator hose off, water spews out pretty good, seeming 
to be that the water pump is fine.

What else?  Am I missing something?
