Problem
My car overheats about 6 times a day, and i cant figure out why? ive changed the radiator, thermostat, hoses and the coolant temp sensor, and it still overheats can anyone point out what i missed or what could be causing this overheating?

EDIT1
also when the car is near H on the temp guage i keep the car on to squeeze the hose for pressure and the hose is fine.

just a little bit, haven't put the gasket into consideration

no, heard of a compression test but don't know where/how to get one done.

not really familiar with a compression test, sorry for the newbishness :newbie:
