I assume motor tune or other mechanical condition is not causing the problem.
When engine running, ensure no engine combustion gas bubbles in coolant resevoir (if so, the head gasket is blown).
I suggest you go through this checklist:-
Check radiator cooling fans are operating ok (as required when car warms up) - if not check
1) fuse,
2) relay operation,
3) heat sensor switch.

Check/replace the thermostat, Check for collapsing (soft) coolant hose on suction side of waterpump when engine revs above idle.
Check the coolant pressure cap is serviceable & of correct rating,
Ensure cooling system is correctly filled, bleed off any airlocks as necessary,
Check radiator cooling core is not blocked internally or externally.

Hey there, I have replaced the thermostat on my 1994 Camry LE 3.0 liter, however it still overheats at about 20 miles of city traffic & I must use the heater. I made sure the thermostat opened, checked...
An engine can overheat due to 2 causes:
1 - the water flow is too small - due to either a failing water pump (replace it) or a clogged radiator (run a radiator cleaning solution).
2 - the fan isn't working as it should (or not at all) - in your case probably not at all since its sensor seems to be not connected.

Water pump
Okay...this is how to remove and install it....you do it from under neath...some of it...

DOHC ENGINE
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. CAUTION
    Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.
  2. Drain and recycle the engine coolant.
  3. Raise the car and support it with safety stands.
  4. Unfasten the splash shield bolts and remove the shield.
  5. Loosen the water pump pulley retaining bolts, then remove the drive belt.
  6. Remove the A/C compressor bolts and move the compressor aside.
  7. Unfasten the water pump retainers and remove the pump from the middle timing belt cover.
  8. To install:
  9. Install the water pump and tighten the retainers to 17 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
  10. Place the A/C compressor in position and tighten the mounting bolts.
  11. Install the drive belt and tighten the water pump pulley bolts.
  12. Install the splash shield and tighten the bolts.
  13. Fill the cooling system with the proper amount and mixture of coolant.
  14. Connect the negative battery cable.
  15. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Overheating engine
Check your freon level on your AC system. If unit is low, it can actually put out more heat in front of the radiator. Does it overheat when the AC is off?
