i've been having some overheating problems. even though i bleeded out the air out of the air relief plug. my car would always overheat while its idling. is it because my condenser fan isnt working? because i noticed that fan isnt spinning at all.

You mean the A/C fan (in front of the clutch fan)? That doesn't always spin. If you're overheating, check your coolant, radiator cap, clutch fan (DON'T CUT OFF YOUR FINGERS!!! If it spins, it works <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>), oil, thermostat, water pump, and oil pump in that order (more or less)

ahh, i know u said it already, but double check and make sure ALL the bubble is outta the cooling system.  i thought mine was all out, and went out for a drive, and BAMN temperture gauge off the chart...

another thing is to make sure your water pump is working or the coolant is circulating.  trun on your car and leave the radiator cap off, on the s13 you should see the coolant flow from passanger side to the driver side.  i'm sure it's same for the s14 as well, or what ever u have  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
