I'm no expert, but I have a'96 cavalier Z24 with a similar problem. I have found out that when air conditioner is running normally the rad fan is on. My air conditionong is not working.(compressor not coming on.) So instead of the temp. staying around 90degs it goes up to next increment (105?) before the fan kicks on. This only happens in stop and go and has not got into the red on the temp. gauge. Also if air conditioning is not working and is the car is overheating check the belt.

Would an alternator of 97 2.2l engine of sunfire fits 2.4l engine of sunfire97?
probably would bolt up , which you could tell by making a bolt template of the alternator bracket, but the 2.4 may require an alternator with more voltage especially if air conditioning is introduced

Why does my 91 Lexus overheat when I turned on the aircondisioner?
The extra load imposed by the air conditioning compressor is overheating the engine. This could be caused by numerous things, but the most common would be either a broken thermostat, low coolant, or a badly tuned engine. Take it to a mechanic.
Why does my Jeep overheat and heater and air conditioning doesn't work.?
For both your heater and air conditioning not to work means you either broke a belt or the belt is loose. Overheating would also be caused by this, because your water pump is driven by the same belt. Do not drive it until you get it fixed, you'll kill that engine by overheating it.

Why would a Subaru Outback overheat?
You are not giving enough information to get a reasonable answer. It's like asking why it won't start. Any, and I mean any, detail would help. Are we talking about the engine cooling system? What are the symptoms that bring you to the conclusion it is overheating? Have you checked the coolant level? What year and size engine? Does it overheat only when stressing the engine, like climbing hills? Does it overheat only in traffic and okay on the highway? Does it overheat when the car is idling? Has the head gasket ever been replaced?

Oil is used in the engine for lubrication and for cooling. If the engine did not have oil it would overheat and soon seize from the heat and wear on engine components. This would destroy the engine in a very short period of time.
Would blown head gaskets cause your vehicle to overheat as soon as you drive it?
it is possible for heat from combustion to cause an engine to overheat quickly depending on where the gasket is blown, but i would look for a lack of coolant circulation first. if your coolant is not getting out of the motor and into the radiator it will overheat very quickly.
