I just changed Water Pump out, flushed and burped my radiator, as well as changed intake manifold gasket. There is no sign of fluid leaking anywhere under the hood. But i can't stop my car from overheating. Any suggestions on what the cause of this issue.

spring pressure is what you are worried about as well. having to clean rad and condensor is the most common thing. most people dont think to do it but its out in the crap worse than your hause a/c and most do that once a year

Ya gotta burp the engine too. It can be done in a couple different ways.
1. Slant the car to one side(most difficult)
2. Remove the thermostat housing and thermostat and rad cap and top of this way.
3. Or drill a small hole in the thermostat, to allow air to purge itself. Easiest and best way because this will keep your engine just a tad cooler here in the summer.
