95 Grand Am Overheating

I have a 95 Grand Am that is overheating. It will get hot super fast at an idle, and will only cool down when accelerating . We have changed the water pump, thermostat, flushed and changed the tank to the radiator (it had a small crack), also chagned the fan, and the temp sensor. Anybody have any ideas on what else it could be?

I have the same problem man. With 95 2.3L Quad 4...have you figurd it out yet?

No, still have not figured it out.

Try the thermostatic switch. It controls when the cooling fan kicks on. If you replaced everything else, i would check that. Also most GM cars radiator fans will kick on when the A/c is on. Try turning on your A/C and see if your fans work. Good luck.

hey man i've got a 95 Grand am with "genious" Quad 4 in it, it did the same thing when i juss got it. the reason y it overheats cuz it's gms fault, they made crapy water pumps, u can change 10 of em, won't change a thing, the thign that helped me was to flush radiator, since then i didn't have any problems, unless i let car idle for a long time, then u juss need to drive and will cool down. good luck my friend.
