Is there anyone here willing to let me call them and explain to them new findings/issues I am having?

So here's my findings thus far. I talked to a mechanic at work today about same issue, he said once it starts getting hot, put it in neutral and rev it to 1.5 to 2k and see how t reacts, I did so when it started to heat after driving and idling, and it cooled off immediately. I also checked my resovoir which is overfilled by previous owner and caught the slightest of bubbles. Have no leaks anywhere. Oil is clean with no signs of any other fluids mixing. Could this be .... 1) clogged radiator? 2) waterpumps? 3) bad thermostat? I am starting with the thermostat tomorrow . Hope something helps. "Fingers crossed" a soon to be father and a volunteer firefighter needs a reliable vehicle ! Haha

Hello everyone. I am a first time Subaru owner. And could really use some help/advice! I recently purchased a Subaru forester , 1998. The car has 104,000 miles on it currently. Here's my issue. When you start the car, the car will idle at a perfect normal temperature and not budge. When you drive the. Car, (I drive 35 miles one way to work) and then come to an idle for a longer period of time(10 minutes) or put it in park and idle, the temp gage goes clear up to maybe the second line closest to the H. I have never seen it go the H or in the red but it lingers very close. What do you guys think could be causing this?
