I have a 1986 CRX. I is now overheating for no reason.
The fan comes on and works
The radiator was repalced.
Coolant was flushed and replaced.
Thermisatat was replaced.

The car will run fine and cool and then for no reason the car will start to heat up. So it is pulled over and let to cool down and then sometimes it runs cool all the time.

I am stumped. Please help

Test the coolant temperature sensor and bleed the cooling system if it continues get it block and pressure tested.
