Do you think that it's overheating because the temperature light is on? If so, then it's possible that you have a bad temperature sensor and not an overheating engine.
Look for other signs of engine overheating :
1. Sluggish engine operation.
2. Detonation upon acceleration (pinging).
3. Rough, uneven engine idle.
4. Coolant boiling in overflow tank.
If your vehicle is experiencing these symptoms, then overheating is indicated. One of the most common cases of overheating is a bad thermostat. Another common problem is a faulty cooling fan or fan circuit. The cooling fan can be checked by running the engine at operating temperature and turning on the AC control. if the fan does not come on, then a problem with the fan circuit is indicated. The thermostat can be checked by placing a cooking thermometer on the motor near the upper radiator hose where it attaches to the motor. the temperature should not go above 225deg. If it does, then replace the thermostat. If the temperature stays at or below this rating, then replace the temperature sensor. I hope that this information helps you with your problem and thank you for using Fixya.com.

WARNING : Be very careful when working around cooling systems when the engine is at operating temperature. DO NOT open the radiator cap (if equipped) or even the overflow tank cap when the system is hot. Always wear safety glasses. Remember that electric cooling fans can operate at any time, even after the engine is off. Keep hands away from fan when working in the engine compartment.

Could timing cause overheating and white smoke in tailpipe

the question is --is the engine running and performing correctly
if the marks are off by one tooth then it was installed incorrectly but answer the first question--is it running good
if it is then the timing is correct or else the performance will be off
AS to the overheating and white smoke , have a compression test done as it could be a head gasket or cracked head

I have a 2003 FORD explore and it's running hot this the 1st time it ran hot on me and now it want started up

If the engine overheated it may not restart until cool. Check coolant level for proper amount first. If the vehicle overheated, I would strongly suggest replacing the thermostat due to it being overheated and possibly the cause of the overheating to start with

2004 impala overheating. Changed thermostat already.

Anna, thermostats don't fail all that often. If you are overheating after a new one, the problem most likely resides inside the radiator. Radiators can get plugged with gunk over time if they are not flushed at least occasionally. Have you tried that yet?

Does the overheating happen while the car is moving or only when at idle for a period of time?

Is the coolant less than two years old? If it is more, I recommend replacing it after doing a cooling system flush.

If you still experience overheating after that, I recommend having a good radiator shop give it a look.

Good luck.

Adjust ignition timing colt rodeo 4x4 3l V6 1996

make sure that your cooling system has no leaks, a common cause of overheating. if there is no leaks , check your ignition timing with a strob, you might want to advance or retard the timing a bit. bad timing also causes overheating

Intermitent over heating

intermittent overheating is cause by a sticking thermostat 99 percent of the time. The other reason can be a loose hose clamp which is mostly unlikely for it should of been doing this for a long time if the hoses were never been removed

Overheating and now engine 'clicking noises.

possible causes of overheating are, dirty cooling system, clogged radiator, bad thermostat. Use only distilled water with a good quality coolant.

still overheating? have your top head checked - warped head, valves, valve seats, etc. You might need to have your engine's compression checked if it is still within specs.
