1990 CRX Overheating

My temperature gauge shows I'm nearly in the red zone. New radiator, new head gasket, new temp sensor, new thermostat and it still shows overheating. Sometimes it falls into the normal zone but mainly inches toward red zone. What else is left to check?

Did you replace the fan switch above the oil filter? Does your fan kick on when it's in the red? Turn on your AC the fan should kick on instantly. That will let you know if the fan is working.

when you had the head gasket replaced, did you check to see if the head was warped or cracked? Might wanna check that out man.

Well did you put coolant in? Some do forget you know?

If the head is warped i'm pretty sure he would see some leaking.

Did you buy a quality thermostat? Or just some $7 one. They are getting shittier and shittier.
