My 1996 Grand Am SE was always overheating. I thought it was the thermostat, It was NOT that, it was the heater core. I had the work done, it was approx 6 months ago. It cost me 500.00, and that was someone I knew and trusted.
You need a new thermostat I just had mine done and the cost was $300.00 I think I got hosed I live in Calgary Alberta the part is only $ 12-$20 but it's the labor involved the thermostat is in a hard to reach place I think back of the manifold.
Well, I live in British Columbia and myself and I'm a woman and my guy friend did it. It's not that hard and it only cost me 32.00 for the thermostat.

Before you go out and buy a thermostat. Try this start the car with the radiatior cap off and let it run for 5 or ten minuets. If this works then it was air locked.
