i have an 88 iroc, and ive got a new rad and a fairly new thermostat, and its fine when im driving, but when i sit or am in heavy traffic it heats up really bad to just below the red line, why is it doing this? what can i do to stop this?

the thermostat may be stuck. buy a new one and see if it still does it. i think there is also a certain way the thermostat needs to be put in...

Have you checked that your fans are coming on? You may need to wire a switch to turn on the fans manuly. Good Luck

Pressure wash the condenser to get rid of debris between the condenser and the radiator. Make sure the fins are not bent.
