I'd start by checking the fan with the A/C turned on and then bleed the air out of the radiator. Make sure it has cooled down before you remove the radiator cap and bleed screw! While bleeding, turn the heater on full blast and add coolant until a steady stream of coolant flows out of the bleeder next to the radiator cap. It helps if you park the car on a hill with the nose elevated. It also helps if you massage the hoses, to push the air trapped in the system to escape. Watch your hands and hair around the belts! Hope this helps, Good Luck.
good info on bleeding the radiator and checking the fan i gotta remember that one
