Question Cooling Problem?

I have a '94 z28. As i'm driving ahnd the car is still cool, it runs good. As the car warms up, it has come close to the last white line before the red for the temp. I have a water pump i bought from jason cromer installed last year. I had a 160 thermostat in there. I also had a new or rebuilt radiator installed last year. The car used to never get past 190. Now i come close to the red, but never touch it, it starts cooling off a little then goes up again. Then the car starts bogging bad and backfiring to the point where i have to pull over and let the car sit for a while and cool off to drive it again, cause when i gave it gas, i was barely going 10 mph. What i noticed the other day is, i was in the garage, i put the a/c on max, and i could hear the fans come on, but they keep coming on and off, never stay on steady, is this normal? I haven't had a coolant flush for a long time. I'm changing the plugs and wires and thinking of changing the o2's cause i think i had a code for the o2's come on earlier in the year, plus i have gone through 2-3 random tech high flow cat's, where there was nothing left inside them, cause i was running really rich, the guy at the muffler shop asked me if i had them hollowed out, which i didn't do. Sorry if this is to long, just need some answers.

Re: Cooling Problem?

Have you tried bleeding the air out of the system? This could cause your temp to get up there.
