Default 03' 430 over heating

I just got it and the gauge is showing a little hot. I took it in they found nothing. The fans runs almost all of the time. It even started running when I was sitting in my driveway with it in park (it was about 55 degrees outside at the time). I don't know much about cars at all, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also hear some grumbling noise in the dash on the drivers side. It sounds like something is trying to work (the radio is off and it still makes this sound).

Thanks!

I've read a thread where one of the club members indicated there is probably air in your radiator. I also seen an episode on Velocity where a car overheated which was caused by the same problem, air in the radiator.

go to a local shop not a meineke. someone in your area you trust that repairs car. it sounds like air in your system.
sometimes you get what you pay for.
