all i can suggest is confirm temp gauge is accurate? check heat sensors? and also inspect for signs of bad head gasket, bubbles in radiator, or streaks in oil?
good luck

Re: OVERHEATING PROBLEM
Check the line between the overflow tank and the radiator to make sure it isnt blocked.

Re: OVERHEATING PROBLEM
From being in the same boat several years ago: buy a new radiator.

Re: OVERHEATING PROBLEM
Is the fan actually turning when the temp gets hot?
I recently just replaced the motor of my radiator fan as the plug got loose and it will intermittently lose connection and stop the fan. Wiggling it usually fixes the problem but only temporarily as the plug gets loose again on the next bumpy road.
So I got it replaced and it fixed the problem.
