3rd Generation 94 Camry XLE 4 Cyl Running Hot!

I need help.........PLEASE!!!!!

My car is overheating after about 20-30 mins of driving. I have changed the thermostat and unplugged the fan sensor (on the bottom corner of the radiator). The radiator is 1 yr old. The water pump is working fine. There is air flow thru the radiator and fans to the engine. There is a good mix of antifreeze and water flowing thru the radiator. The car runs hot if I am at a stop light or if I'm driving down the road. Later today I plan on changing out the radiator cap and the switch/sensor (the temp guage one) that is near the thermostat. I am at witts end and I do not know what to do now. Please help!!!!!!

Hmm, well is it leaking coolant anywhere? Are you driving it in the city with the A/C running and all that with traffic to boot?

are you sure your water pump is functioning? if so, you could have a blockage somewhere. try reverse flushing the cooling system with a hose. if there is a lot of resistance and/or debris, then there is/was a blockage. if there isnt, then it sounds like the pump really isnt circulating the coolent.

If you are getting bubbles in the antifreeze reservoir then you might have a head gasket issues.
