Car is overheating!

My car has been over heating and my waterpump was leaking... So i replaced the waterpump and i also changed the thermo stat...
It still overheats.. So i run the AC so my fan stays on at all times. AC dont work so it outs out heat also... Anyways my car will still overheat sometimes with AC on... Im not sure what else it could be... Maybe radiator? Or the air dam underneat the car... Could someone send me a pic of the air dam on a 88 Camaro sport Coupe? Mine dont seem like its right. Seems like it is missing a peice making it not scoop the air... Thanks

Try flushing your radiator .
Do you have any broken or cracked fan blades ?
Look for pics of your airdamn in the appearacne forum .If you dont see any run a search on them , if still no luck , make a post and ask for pics .

This might sound like a dumb question , but are you really running hot ? ....Maybe the temperature sending unit is bad .


Is your radiator dirty , like with bugs and crapola ? Well actually you would be looking at your ac condensor , if you looked at it . But still the radiator itself could need a spray with the hose . The front part that is . Clean the condensor and radiator if needed .

Goodluck man ! I hope this helps

Here's an air dam pic..
Try replacing your radiator cap, and check your lower radiator hose, to make sure it's not collapsing under high rpms.
