I'll preface this by saying that my approach to fixing overheating issues is not too far from replace parts from cheapest to most expensive until fixed. Sounds like you've eliminated the mechanical fan. Have you tested the electric fan(s)? That test is not too hard. Acid flush may help, next

I think you're confusing ASR with ASD, both options for traction control in that era. ASR uses the ABS sensors and ABS pump to apply brakes on the slipping wheel, I believe. ASD is basically a locking differential, with hydraulically activated clutch packs, which takes cues from the ABS sensors

I have a question about the inlet - outlet temp testing. In theory - even if a significant drop is noted, (such as 20C), wouldn't a blocked radiator reduce the volume of water being cycled? So even with an effective water pump, the cooling system would be unable to keep up with the heat producd
