Had an '85 Civic several years ago. Could idle it all day and it would run cool. Get on the interstate and do a long run and it would overheat. # of different mechanics could not figure it out, did all sort of stuff to it, even jive-rigging the cooling fan to run continously.
A little guy at a radiator shop that I just happened to run across in a hot dog joint over heard me telling a "knowledgeable" person about my problem. He immediately told me that I had a clogged radiator despite seeing and feeling coolant moving through it. Those things have very few flues for the coolant to circulate and if a couple get clogged it'll run hot.
Obviously the people who worked on the car were less than swift.
Maybe not your situation, but I'm just sayin'.
