Why would a 1997 Cadillac Catera have a good water level and pressure and has a new thermostat but still overheats?

If it's not leaking any visible coolant anywhere and you don't detect coolant getting into the enine oil (check for white smoke coming out of the tailpipe) it is not likely a bad head gasket and may just be a faulty reading on the temperature gauge. There is a service bulletin regarding the temperature guage, that it reads hot or near hot when the engine is not actually overheating. The water pumps are also under recall, so have that checked as well. I know mine just shows a high reading on the temp guage but it's not leaking coolant and everything else checks out fine.
Answer Make sure your fan is working properlyhead gasket AnswerOr the water pump. I just brought mine to the dealership for an unrelated issue and they said the water pumps are under recall. Check it out at your local dealer.Wiki User
