i have a 95 chevy caprice and keeps running hot. what do i do?

Check you cool-en fans make sure they are coming on when the should ..if they don't then you need a coolant temp switch.

hope this helps..
 
Make sure your radiator isn't blocked by using an air compressor with a blow nozzle and blow through the cooling fins.

Your water pump could be bad.

Double check the thermostat was not installed upside down.

Make sure there is enough fluids in the radiator and holding tank.
 
If you just installed the heater coil you could have a air pocket in your system and need to bleed the system. The way you do this is look on are around your thermostat and you should find a bleeder valve, it looks like a grease fitting. All you have to do is loosen it up ,then run the engine for a little while with cap off , you will need to add coolant as needed. What happens it a air pocket get in the water pump and want let it pump water to cool the engine.You also might want to check your hoses to make sure that there not closen open when your engine get hot , if one of them are it want let the coolant circulate to keep the engine cool.
 
The Flow Of Water In Your Radiator May Be Restricted. When Car Is Hot. Feel The Bottom Radiator Hose, If Not As Hot As Top One Or Cold . It Is Most Likely Radiator Need Flushing
