My first thought is have you checked your fan? Some fans spin but not fast enough. Electric fans get weak and direct drive fans have a clutch that gets weak. Another issue is the air dam ( the piece of plastic under you car). Most cars are designed to push air through the radiator if the air dam is missing it might be a problem.

What else can you do to your 1991 Honda if it is still overheating by the time you go a mile if you have changed the radatior and the thermostat?
1) ONE THING YOU COULD TRY IS CHANGING THE RADIATOR CAP...IF IT'S BAD THE CAR WILL BOIL OVER AND APPEAR TO BE ALWAYS OVERHEATED WHEN ALL THAT'S REALLY WRONG IS THE LACK OF PROPER BACK PRESSURE DUE TO AN OLD/DEFECTIVE RADIATOR CAP. 2) IF THAT DOESN'T WORK YOU COULD TAKE THE THERMOSTAT OUT AND TRY DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT IT IN AND SEE IF THE CAR RUNS LONGER BEFORE OVERHEATING...IF IT DOES THEN THE THERMOSTAT IS STICKING. THE THERMOSTAT COULD ALSO BE UPSIDE DOWN...IF IT IS IT WON'T WORK RIGHT. patricklaw1957@yahoo.com You might also check the timing.If it is retarded due to a bad timing chain or needing a tune up this will cause overheating.
Your 95 is overheating you changed the thermostat and it is still overheating and lots of smoke is coming out the tale pipe?
White smoke from the exhaust indicates you have a blown head gasket or cracked head. Stop driving the car until this is repaired or you will do serious damage to the engine.
Why is your 1995 Grand am 3.1 and it keeps overheating when idle or driving slow but it stays cool when you are in constant motion in winter you changed thermostat and water pump and flushed rad?
Check your electric cooling fan
How do you replace the radiator when car is overheating?
Are you sure its the rad? BMW suffered from viscous fan failure. Symptoms were overheating in stationary traffic but ok when driving along.
1995 Explorer overheated and blew head gasket so engine replaced new thermostat and catalytic converter but still overheats and has very little power Cannot even go uphill without overheating Why?
did you replace radiator hoses i have seen hoses collapse and cause overheating while driving and radiator could be clogged. also did you bleed your cooling system according to owners manual
1996 chey lumina overheating radiator replaced The car continues overheating it lost power when driving then just shut off It contpnues to over heat can it be the catalic converter?
Did you replace the thermostat, and check the water pump? Does the cooling fan operate as it should? A plugged catalytic converter can cause overheating. If above items check out OK you need to check for leaking head gasket.
When I am driving my 2002 Chevy impala the temperature meter moves from the middle to almost overheating and back what would cause this?
Thermostat.
Why is my car overheating?
its a 96 caprice already changed the thermostate fans are working Do you have an obvious leak,making the engine short of coolant? If no obvious leaks,the first place to look is the thermostat,these frequently fail shut,so restricting the coolant flow. You don't say what sort of car it is,or if this happens only in traffic (radiator fan not running) or just driving along,thermostat,blocked radiator,cylinder head gasket. Modern cars must have good quality antifreeze mixed to recommendation for good cooling and anti-corrosion.
Why would a 1996 Cadillac Concours overheat while driving Installed a new radiator and that did not fix the problem. It will idle in the drive way all day long?
There are other things at play to keep your engine from overheating and they are cheaper than radiators. First make sure the radiator cooling fan is coming on. Cost to do this "Free" Next you may want to replace the thermostat. It may be stuck closed or partially closed. Cost about $8 and your time. Either of these two will cause overheating and are more likely to be the cause than the radiator. A collapsed radiator hose will cause overheating also but rare. Hope this helps
