more questions!
I change the radiator today,after I put the new one in I did a test drive on the high way, but the coolant temperature goes high after 9 min about 60 miles/hour so I shut it down and restart it again, the Tem. drop to half and when I start drving it, Temperture goes high again and I DON'T have heater, I used to,I have heater before I change the radiator.
I touch the radiator, it's hot so it means the thermosta is good but the problem is the coolant in the raservior is cold.... |

the problem is timing!
I fix the problem, my car's timing is 4 degree BTDC which should be 10 degree BTDC, after I set the the timing the car runs great.

Yes Boss！ My engine tem. drop to normal. But actually the main reason cause my Engine Tem. go high is I lose too much coolant when I change the radiator
 .... Finally my car runs great.......But the heater start to bother me  ....It goes warm and cold with engine load, when I driving it, the heater proforms really good but when I let my car at idle my heater won't take care of me anymore......

There's a valve in the heater line on the passenger side. It's mounted on the firewall by the charcoal canister. Follow the heater hose from the firewall to it. There's a VSv with a metal bell with a lever that runs to the valve. Run the vacuum line which runs along the firewall to the VSV straight to the bell and see if the lever moves up. It's a common failure point. I'll see if I can find a diagram.
Here you go:
