You probably checked the timing, right? If it's off (advanced too much), the engine could run hot.

I put in another vote in to check the gauge, sensor, and everythig in between; I lost temp after doing some head work on a Geo and it turned out to be a bad connection in the wire (I had reconnected the wire, but it had a break inside the insulation somewhere).

By the way, is it overheating at idle, at speed, or both?
