The air dam is a black plastic piece that is mounted under the lower radiator support to direct air from under the car up through the radiator. That's where the radiator gets pretty much all of it's fresh air from, and without it, will most certainly overheat.

Also, check your hoses to see if they collapsed, and thermostat, and jsut for the hell of it, flush the system to make sure it functions properly. Also check your waterpump as well. You could do the whole cooling system for under 100 bucks ( minus radiator).

wish i still had my 91 GTA. Mine overheated all the time. My cap ahd a small leak so i replaced it and that made a world of diffrence but it still ran hot. All turd gens do that haha. good luck with it. Def get an air damn and make sure stuff isnt crammed around the radiator like leaves. F bodys have a problem with that and there are many TSBs out for that.
