IF you have a viscous fan hub the overheat at idle problem will be there. Replace it with a brand new one. If you have electric fans check heat sensors and circuits, Check for fault codes

Maybe the water pump has been eaten away

The GM Dexcool hasn't worked out well for the last
years or so

May have to do the water pump & go to a universal
coolant

If your saying it is only a cabin heat issue then your going
to have to understand the system & diagnose that part

SOURCE: 2000 Cadillac Deville DTS is in anti- theft mode

you can reset the system by turning key to on position for 5-10 mins and then try starting it but its probably a short or grounding prob try the engine to chassis ground

SOURCE: 1998 cadillac catera anti-freeze leak

First things first don't use Dexcool.

It would happen only once in a while likely because the overflow bottle doesn't always fill to the point of where the leak is located. It would be very easy to unbolt the bottle and fill it with water to find the leak and patch it up.

SOURCE: 1998 cadillac deville fans not coming on starts

If your fans are not coming on then your engine is not receiving the signal that it is overheating. This can be caused by bad fans (unlikely they are both out) a bad relay, or coolant temperature sensor. I would start by checking or replacing the temperature sensor as it can become corroded which is what the PCM uses to turn the fans on. Many vehicles use two sensors, one for the gauge and the other for the ECU, make sure you check/replace the right one. It should be a cheaper part and if you are unsure then match the new one with its location; it should be on the intake manifold or near it, generally with one or two wires. I think you will find your problem as they are common failed parts.

Good luck!

I have a 99 Cadillac D'Elegance, that just started overheating. It didn't lose anti freeze/coolant until after it overheated. I turned the heat up to the highest temp. and it blew out cool

water level was low thats why it blew cold ,you may have a slight leak somewhere but once the level drops below a critical amount then it will overheat so ask a local mechanic to have a good look for you as this sort of problem is often beyond the scope of a owner to locate the leak ,when running check the difference between the top and bottom rad hoses as well if bottom hose cold then it could be the thermostat .

2003 Buick Century is over heating in the morning only. Radiator, thermostat and sensor have all been replaced. Water pump and fans have been checked. When it idles it gets hot but when you rev the motor...

Sounds like the intake gasket or even possibly the head gasket have gone south if everything else has been replaced. Internal engine leaks will cause engine to overheat very easily.
