If you have done all you said you have their is only two things left i know of that will cause them to overheat and the first thing is if its the 4 cyl 2.4 litre it is probably the head gasket blown really common on the 2.4 engine. If it the 3.1 litre engine they have two bleeder valves that when you flush the out or they get low on antifreeze they get air in the line and stop the flow of antifreeze getting threw the engine causing them to overheat and possibly damage your engine. Hope this helped out with your overheating problem.

How to fush heater core in my 86' Pontiac Fiero GT?

If you need to flush the core you would be better to change it. It would get flushed when you flush the entire system. Also try changing you thermostat that is the usual first cause of running hot or a bad water pump. Good Luck!

Check the operation of the heater control valve. It will be conected to one of the smaller hoses leading to the heater core from the engine.

Changed water pump. put new thermostat in changed radiator blowing out cold air but temp. guage never goes above 225

first check and see if you have flow through the heater core
start the car and get to operating temp. then grab the heater hoses they should both be hot if not then you have a flow problem
you can try and back flush the heater core or replace it
if the hoses are hot then there will be a problem with the temp door under the dash
hope this helps let me know if you need more info on the heater door

99 grand am gt overheating changed thermostat and

try priming the engine block & radiator with water though the hose's & any hose you can squeeze to pump out the air lock with the filler cap off when running, sounds too much air is is in the system & the pump won't work dry.
I had this problem a few times & I ended up practically forcing water into any hose I could re-attach quickly using a garden hose, as the heating system need's priming too !

Heater does not work and car is overheating

Probably a clogged heater core. Orange coolant clots after a while. Should be replaced more often than recommended. If you have intermittent heat you might get lucky with a coolant system flush, otherwise you'll probably have to replace the heater core.
