check the thermostat

I have the same problem, even though my radiator, thermostat, head gasket, etc is all new. Sucks, I think the fan is crapping out on me but i didnt think it would cause it to overheat that bad

[Ramx]

well i had the same problem and it turned out to be a broken cooling sensor plug the one behind the distributor ... check that or Ur sensors

btw nice flag on ur cb

[TypeG]

it's probably the thermostat, unless you have white smoke coming out of your tailpipe. later.

^what type g said

Are you sure your fans are wired to move air the right way? They should be sucking air through the radiator/condenser and blowing it on your exhaust manifold/heatshield/header.

Also check your radiator cap is functioning properly.

Did you bleed the coolant valve? Could be an air bubble.

Where would that be located...

Air bubbles can cause erratic idle, do your radiator fans turn on...ever?
Try turning the A/C button on and the blower on when your at a stop light, this will make both radiator fans turn on.

It doesnt sound like a thermostat, that usually would be hot just all the time.
Like TypeG suggested, I did this once... I unplugged (then forgot about it) the rear thermo switch on the thermostat housing.
About 5 mins later...
I was working on a car infront of my idleing CB, I started to hear the head getting louder (valve noise)
I turn around and I can see some real heat waves comeing from the motor.
I look at the cluster and the Temp guage is PEGGED at H
I realised the fans were not on, so I turned the A/C on and it cooled the motor almost instantly.
Later I plugged it back in and all is well

my brothers 92cb did the same thing for months and we try everything well he had the thermostat in the housing backwards i would check that i known it sounds crazy but i have seen it happen good luck
