Last week, My S started overheating every time I drove it and was leaking coolant. So I had the the intake gasket and thermostat replaced but it is still overheating. What can be wrong?

1. bleed the air out of the system.

2. check flued level at the radiator neck (do it when the engine is cool of course).

well, where is it leaking from?

if you have a leak, you can bleed it 50 times and there's will be air in the system.

Its not leaking anymore, it was leaking from the intake gasket, but I had it replaced, therefore there is no more leak. How do you bleed the system? Like drain it?

you bleed out the air in the system by opening the two bleeder valves, google s2000 coolant bleed.

turn on the car and put the heater on max(non circulation), run the car with the bleed valve cracks open, there should be coolant shooting out with bubble, once all the bubble is out then you can tighten the bleeder.

there's on by the firewall and there's one near the front of the engine block.

fill up the reservoir will coolant.

Thank you, it is much appreciated.
Kinda new to the S2000 scene, so I'm clueless in about everything

yeah, the second firewall bleeder is unique in the S, usually honda has one bleeder(that's how it was for all the honda i owned)

on my miata, you just need to jack up the front and the bubble will escape from the rad cap opening(no screw to crack open)

in case you rip the firewall rubber boot, autozone or kragen sells a rubber boot in an assorted package for cheap, inspect if for dry rot, crack, replace it there's sigh of failure. I ripped mine when i flushed the coolant at 120ishk
