Sounds like you have either a coolant blockage (coolant is not circulating through the intake) or if notice your coolant levels running low or smoke out the back, that would be a leak

Please turn the CAPS, OFF

water was flushed through before or after the install? With or without the thermostat in it?

well if they did a flush then it was without the thermostat. Only guess I have is that the thermostate was put in backwards. Was it overheating before the flush? If not, that's probably the problem. If it was, then you may have a blockage somewhere. A piece of gasket or junk could've gotten stuck in a head somewhere when you were replacing the intake. Oil level look okay? Does your oil look 'milky'?
