Default Overheating

Ok... I have changed out the thermostat with a hypertech and it still over heats. I also changed out the waterpump because the bearings were going and it still overheats. I changed out the thermostat again with another one and it still is overheating. I also am not getting heat from my heater inside the car. Please help .. I am about to scream..


Thanks

As far as overheating, did you properly bleed the air outta the system after changing the thermostats and waterpump?

As far as no heat in the car, I'm taking a guess, but have you look at the heater core or looked into the problem being related to the heater core?

does anyone have a good way of bleeing the coolant? I was told to take of the hose from the right side of the throttlebody and wait until u see coolant. The problem with that solution, is that the car starts overheating to over 250 degrees. Please help
