Default 95 integra overheating issue need help bad

Ok my 95 integra is overheating bad, it starts to warm up when i come to a red light and my heat starts to blow cold air, it will normaly go to 80 percent or more depends on how long im sitting but when i start to move it cools back off. But today it was overheating while driving and started to redline.
I HAVE already, checked fluids, they are full, Replaced thermostat and gasket, didnt make a slightest bit of difference. Any Ideas i need it fixed ASAP

clogged radiator? I've encountered those a few times when previous owners thought it was a good idea to pour stop leak or some bullshit stuff into their cooling system.

I would suggest a radiator flush. If it does it again then let the car idle to operating temp (at least a few minutes), then carefully squeeze the radiator hose if its not hot. If it is hard to squeeze and you feel antifreeze inside then the thermostat is doing its job.

After the flush, fill with fresh 50/50 antifreeze (half water, half anti...) and see if it does it again.

the radiator was jsut replaced like a month ago and the guy said he did a flush on it when he changed it out.

Maybe:

*Air trapped in system - burp/bleed coolant system

*Coolant temp sensor fucked? Integra's have 2 sensors right? (one for ECU --one for gauge cluster?? They are right next to each other on mine) Maybe the small sensor that goes to gauge is fucked. When mine took a shit it actually did the opposite, it didn't read any temp lol

*And is the fan cycling on like it's supposed to?

I would say thermostat for the cold air thing or you leaked coolant, but you said you replaced it and fluid was topped off.

Something was probably done wrong with the install. Should be an easy fix.

I will tell you easy thing is pressure check the system. I have seen everything from the peep hole on the waterpump to the seals on the water valley tube .first check for anti in the oil if oil is milky looking replace headgasket. If oil is normal then pressure check system and can use a headgasket detection kit to check for leaks or bad headgasket.

Are you talking about the weep hole to equalize seal pressure? I don't think there is a peep hole. If there is, its made for people with very small eyes.
