as i said above i drive a 95 camaro with a 3.4L and it overheats really easy its been happening for about the past two weeks. i replaced the radiator hoses, thermostat and i thought i had fixed the problem and no its still there. so i took the thermostat of and its still overheating and im thinking of getting the radiator flushed this coming weekend. but do u all have any info that i can use.

Did you bleed all the air out of the system when you changed all those parts???? the 3.4s are picky and kind of a PIA to bleed out. Explain your overheating issue a little more, like if the temp guage jumps around or it gradually overheats or just when gettin on it or with the air on, etc. Have you checked to see if your fans are coming on? I've had a few cooling issues with mine but have it pretty much under control now.

Are your fans even commin on? Replace the radiator fan motor maybe.

well the fan does turn on and no i did not bleed the air out how do i do that.
well lets put it this way a couple days ago i went to the bank and its about 10 minutes away from the house and i went and came back the car was burning. i checked for leaks and nothing when i turn off the car the water starts to overflow through the coolant resivor

With the car cold, remove the temperature sensor from the Dr. side cylinder head. Its right behind your power steering pump sticking out towards the fender. Remove radiator cap, and start filling slowly ( it is best if you can have someone help by watching or pouring while you watch.) When the coolant starts coming out of the sensor hole in the head, stop pouring and quickly put the sensor back in. Continue to fill the radiator. When full, let it sit for about 30 minutes or so to slowly burp itself. Come back and check, top off again if needed and put the cap back on. Fill your overflow bottle about half way so it can burp out and suck coolant back in from there. Start the car, turn the heater on to open the heater valve, and watch your temperature gauge. Hopefully nothing has been damaged by driving with it getting hot like that.

That isnt the book way to do it, but it is the best/ easiest way I've found on the 3.4 that works every time. Let us know if this helps. Also, after you let it warm up, if your temp gauge is acting more normal now, let it cool all the way down and check your radiator again, you may need to top it off one more time. If this doesnt help and your gauge is showing hot, you may have a bigger problem.

Also if that doesnt do it, you may have a bad water pump, ( as long as no gaskets are blown.) Not too bad to change.
