    Is your radiator coolant fluid and reservoir properly topped off? Are your radiator fans turning on? Can you describe what happens in a bit more detail?

      Have you changed your thermostat? Did you make sure you bled the cooling system when you got done?

              to bleed the system,you have to remove the radiator cap and run the engine till the fan come on twice.Then put the cap back.

              That is the basic method,there is a bleeder-screw on the T-stat housing but i'm not sure about the right procedure,like if you must leave the cap on of not.

                is top and bottom radiator hose hot? if not thermostat is dead.

                yea try and get the air out of the system. its not that hard to do the bleed valve.
                What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

                You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

                  leave the rad cap on and crack the bleeder screw and make sure that it flows a steady stream.

                    I do this: open the rad cap and let the car heat up. If there are bubbles in the system, you will see them come to the top. You might need to add more coolant if you had a lot of bubbles. Wait untill the bubbles stop. Close the cap and you should be good. I usually have someone maintain the revs at 2500-3000 rpms and see if more bubbles come out. It's pretty easy. Good luck.
