I have to avoid traffic, stoplights, and warm weather. If i get caught in traffic my car easily overheats...causing shaking... resulting in most likely fire ( i don't want to find out!) i have to take back roads usually with the heat on blast ( on a 90 degree summer day, might i add) , so that my engine doesn't overheat. What is going on? help!!

> I've had my radiator checked, coolant is full & new, and i just got a new water pump! fan belts sound like a good idea... i have so many more issues with this car! :)
 
it could be your radiator stopped up or the thermostat is bad. try changing the thermostat and flush out the whole cooling system including the heater core.
