I have a 2001 pt cruiser that keeps overheating. I have changed the water pump, pain in the neck to do, changed the thermostat, radiator. No water in the oil. Comp. Checked all cylinders.150psi in all of them. The fan runs when car parked. I start driving and the car starts overheating after 5 minutes of driving. Any ideas?

Sounds like it has a restricted circulation. What about the radiator cap did you replace that to? Could also be vapor locked.

Blown headgasket sometimes don't show in the oil or coolant for a visual check-to rule out headgasket sniif the radiator for HC thru the of a Gas Analyzer or Chek Bloc-

Rad cap and Air lock could be it.
