Urgent cooling help needed
Ok so I am having a strange issue with me car that only started recently. I had it overheat on me a week ago so I did a flush of the system and oil change just to make sure on the easy stuff. Then it kept up and I have since changed the radiator and thermo, the temp guage gets up to half way but I opened the hood when i got home and the coolant in the overflow tank is bubbling like crazy and steaming. Help!!

How bad did it overheat? Is the fan kicking in? Any smoke? Hopefully not a head gasket or warped. You could do a compression check. Hopefully it is something simple and here is a bump.

How old is the rad. cap? Are you running a water/coolant mix or water/water wetter mix? As long as you are sure your gauge is reading properly and it is staying near straight up, you shouldnt have a problem. the overflow will boil over at a lower temp than your cooling system due to the system being pressurized.
