Best Answer

If this engine is in a firebird/trans am, one problem could be is the plastic air dam located behind the bumper and below the core support for radiator is either missing or damaged. most commonly broke off because of pulling too close to concrete parking stop,too low of a driveway or sidewalk in front of a business. no air is getting scooped up into radiator. Could be a blown head gasket. Losing any antifreeze??
