I have a Sunbird 93 with a lot of mileage. My problem is that the car continue getting hot. I replace in the pass months:the water pump, the radiator, the fan motor and fix a leakege, but the car continue getting hot. I don't know what else can I do.

Replace the thermostat. Make sure the cooling fan is turning on. Check the hoses for any crimps or blockages...

I have checked all. I saw in another web site that it could be the head gasket.

Not likely. You would know it if it were your headgasket. When mine went out, the car ran like garbage, spewed white smoke out of the engine bay and the vents, and stunk to high heaven...

What engine do you have? Are you losing coolant? How long does it take before the guage indicates it's running hot? A little more info please.

My engine is 2.0 liters and 4 cylinders. Yes I'm losing a little of coolant. I start the engine and run for a while and no problem. The problem start when I stop in a red light and when I turn off the car and start again.

Sounds like a head gasket, just not internal (white smoke). Being the 2.0L it is very possible. Have a garage pressurize your coolant system and check where your coolant leak is coming from, i.e. head gasket

I had same problem with my 88 Sunbird 2L OHC. It was head gasket.
