Everytime im at a stop light my heat idle arrow starts to rise up(overheat), but then when i start driving it slowly goes back down. Or sometimes when i drive slow it begins to overheat. Does anyone know why this happens? I appreciate any inputs and tips

B20, yes. use google and search. overheating - check your coolant level? change your thermastat

Are your fans turning on?

And yes a b20 will fit, you could've found out with a quick search

Yes, Coolant checked, Thermosat checked, water pump checked, fans working checked!

And I asked because I did research but I didn't find any saying it would only said D-Series
But let's forgot these question now, I just didn't want to make two threads but thanks for your answers.

Now back to the main question I have changed n checked everything and my car still overheats!

Make sure the system is all bleed out.

Please summarize the technical problem in the thread title - edited.

Please elaborate on how you checked these. Is your fan running when your at a stop because it doesn't sound like it

If this^ were true, then you'd know what the problem is and would be fixing it now.

By any chance do you have slim fans? Are the fans moving air in the proper direction (should be sucking air in from the front of the car not trying to blow it out of the front) Does your coolant level drop? Is there coolant in your oil? Is your thermostat stuck? Have you had your radiator checked (calcium buildup with clog a radiator and will not flow sufficient coolant through it)

Try warming the car up to where it starts to overheat according to the temp gauge. Open up the hood and feel the lower hose. and the upper radiator hose. The upper hose is obviously on the upper side of the radiator right next to the radiator cap and connects to the engine head. The lower radiator hose connects from the bottom of the radiator up to the left side of the intake manifold and engine head.
If the lower radiator hose isn't warm like the upper hose, it's likely to be a thermostat problem.

Yes my fan does turn on when im at a stop or when car begins to heat up, i checked if the fan still worked by simply jumping it to a 12v source(Car battery)

Trust me i tried everything and i even took it back to the shop that repaired my head gasket and got it back and the same day it over heated

Nope not that i know of and coolant level is good i make sure the radiator is topped but i dont lose coolant.

Top and bottom hoses are both warm, Replaced the thermostat (Twice)!
