yeah so guys just checked everything again and hoses are good and like some of you guys were saying i dont think the head gasket is blown and i just think its the radiator b/c i just changed the thermostat this morning and flushed it all and got new fluid

 

[BigMac88]

Are you sure you put enough fluid in and did you use a 50/50 coolant water mix?

 

[Ballerin1]

Did u make sure the coolant is still full?

 

[Cheesenip]

did you cross any coolant hoses when you put that radiator in?

Well Im sure at this rate, if these guys don't ask you a question which turns on a light, Your defiantly not driving a motor vehicle from earth!

There could be air in the system.

take the hose loose that goes to the throttle body and add coolant till it starts to come out.

There is only a couple options. Eliminate them till you find the problem.

Check for/fix leaks
Check for blockage
Make sure the fans are coming on
Make sure the thermostat is opening
Make sure to bleed all of the air out of the system
Make sure the radiator cap is good.

Do a compression test, if it still runs hot.

It wouldn't be a headgasket because he doesn't have any telltale signs of a blown headgasket. It's just running hot and overheating. A blown headgasket will show a milky color in the oil if coolant is leaking in the oil and you would definately be able to see oil in the radiator if the oil was leaking into the coolant.

I think if he can't figure it out after hashing through the list I quoted here then I would have to turn to a failed water pump. That's the only other thing that wouldn't allow the coolant mixture to move through out the engine. If that's fine well, the car is possesed.

did u ever replace the thermostat.

 

[orwell_1984]

Is the thermostat kicking on?

+1 !!!!!

turn on.. let it get hot.. then squeez bottom hose ... no pressure in it. / no hot water in it...thermostat

 

[Cheesenip]

he can still have pressue and fluid in the hoses. even with a bad thermostat.

easy fix! never stop going fast!

flush your system again and fill properly!
bleed all air out of the hoses!
compression test
check water pump
if all else fails put it on craigslist as a type R and make bank!
