hi im having over heating problems on my s13 sr20det . There are no leak of coolant anywhere and i just replaced the thermostat and the coolant temp sensor and its still over heating. I recently just put powersteering and ac in the car and as soon as i did that the car begins to over heat. The fans are new and working, theres no coolant leak , and theres no water in the oil. Can anyone help me with my over heating problem?

Have you tried to bleed it excessively? At the shop here we vacuum a system down and draw coolant in ensuring no air is left inside. You could pay a shop to do that if you absolutely cannot figure it out... There is also additives but I have no personal experience with them. GL

when does it over heat?
does it just warm up and just keep going till its hot
or does it only overheat at stoplights or low speeds
or does it overheat when driving fast or is it random?
