    Hello,

    I have 03 GrandPrix it runs great, I have noticed in the last 2 weeks it gets over heating almost to H sign, But it's only while in traffic, but on highways it stays around 210, I check the coolant there is no leak, and there is no oil in the coolant, or coolant in the oil, and I have checked the fans, they are working fine I guess.

    Any idea what is it causing to gets overheating?

    Thanks alot

    Air in the cooling system most likely.

    Try bleeding the cooling system and see what its like from there.

    That's probably just hot air coming into the cabin from the engine bay since your motor is running quite warm. One thing u should watch for, is in my experiences, when a car overheats due to one issue, it can cause some new ones. Like if the bleeding does the trick, watch the uim and lim gaskets.
