Over-Heating under throttle

Took the car out on the road today, and it keeps over-heating under light throttle! When the car idles the temps stay nice and cool at a steady 190*. But when I start on the road, the temps slowly rise to a dangerous level after a few minutes of low speed driving. I figured it was possibly air bubles in the lines, because at one point it just spiked to over heating, so i immedietly shut the car off and roleld to a stop and let it cool, when I poped the hood, the Electric water pump was going as it should, and the anti-freeze didn't smell bad at all! Also the temps returned to normal after only a minute.

Now I have un-coated pace-setters on the car now, that are running through the heat cycles and blowing out alittle smoke, but could that cuase it to over-heat like it does?

I didn't get a chance to check the fans yet, I'll be doing that after class.
