When you changed these components and refilled the cooling system, did you purge the air out of the top of the system by opening the bleeder valve. These engines have coolant in areas higher up in the engine where air can be trapped during refill. Air trapped in the system will cause overheating issues. Otherwise, the only thing you haven't mentioned in the system is the radiator and fan assemblies. They could be suspect, as could a possible blown head gasket.

You need to verify if your cooling fans are coming on first. If your a/c works, then when you turn on your a/c, the fans should come automatically regardless of engine temp. Or the fans should come on when your gauge reads around halfway. Radiators can become plugged or partially plugged internally also, restricting coolant flow. With engine warmed up and engine off, you can feel the radiator fins for cool spots which would indicate blockage (use common sense not to burn yourself). A laser thermometer is safer and easier.

My grand am still overheats even after i changed the termostat and water pump plus, the fan only runs when the temp sensor is unplugged

I had the same problem with my 1999 grand am .I changed water pump, thermostat. I heard the Pontiac engines , 3.4 had overheating problems one is the intake gasket if your losing water but don't know were its going its leaking at the intake gasket and burning off or if you check the oil cap or the dip stick and theres a milky substance on them it would be your head gasket I had to change my head gasket and while I was there I changed the intake gasket too. I haven't had any problems sence I changed them hope this helps. Jack

Sebring thermostat

I vaguely recall a bleeder on the intake or close to the top? Trapped air will make it overheat again.

1998 Chrysler Concorde LXI with 174K miles. 2

Problem with this is that it could be a number of things, have ur water pump checked, open the radiator and see if there is water running through it, a bad or plugged thermostat, in this case it does sound like a blown head gasket. id suggest flushing the radiator with some cleaner that u can buy at the store and check n see if ur thermostat is stuck, hope for the best and expect the worst

Overheating

maybe 3 things....leaking intake manifold gasket(very common on this car because pontiac used plastic manifold gaskets) may also be air in the system....bleed screw is located on the top hose and is painted blue. it may have some air cavitation. you may have a leaky or bad seal on overflow cap. check your oil dip stick...if there is a milk shake type foam look to it then the gaskets are ready to fail. get a compression test done and it will confirm everything the easy way. harbor freight sells a radiator pressure test kit and it works like a champ and its cheap....good luck

Overheating engine

Check your oil dipstick for coolant, or a mucky substance. Your symptoms sound like a blown head gasket.

Car overheating -

Hi,
If you didn't change the thermostat, I would recommend doing so. They can stick and deny or restrict water flow through your engine. They're easy enough to replace and inexpensive. Make sure you get a new gasket with it.
Hope this helps... Good luck!
