Have you done a leak test? did you check the hoses/pipe behind the intake mannifold?justb a couple of things maybe you've missed.
hi, I'm the idiot behind the wrench.
might be a bad cat? i heard of overheating problems do to bad/plugged up ones.. but thats a maybe
Do a compression test. Also, does the car have a front mount? What kind of coolant are you using? Do you have a Greddy coolant cap or another type of cap that raises the boiling point?
pull the radiator and take it to a radiator shop and have it rodded out. i was having the same problem and tried everything. that fixed it. its like a $30 fix.
he already changed the radiator.are you loosing collant?If ther is a FMIC that might be a problem.also,I'm not trying to challenge your car knowledge or anything,But did you put the THERMOSTAT back right?somtimes we just don't pay attention and put it backwards ;p
hi, I'm the idiot behind the wrench.
MY BOY BLEW IS ENGINE, SO WE REPLACED IT WITH A BRAND NEW REBUILT ENGINE, ALL THE HOSE HAVE NO LEAK. ALL THE COMPRESSION ARE COOL. WHAT I DID NOTICE IS THAT WHEN THE CAR HEATS UP, THE RESERVE TANK WOULD OVER FLOW. THE FAN WOULD COME FOR MAYBE TWO MINUTE AND THEN IT WOULD STOP. CAN A BAD HEAD GASKET CAUSE THE CAR TO OVER HEAT.... TU PLEASE RESPONDED....
WE TRY TAKING TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAY THERE ARE TO MANY MOD.. THEY WILL NOT TOUCH IT......

did you guys check your thermostat? that could be bad also.

would that be a good idea to do just to get some extra cooling power even if there are no over heating problems?
