ok yeah ill have to do that ive been messing with it for the past few days im going to get a new thermostat and radiator cap this weekend then see what happens.. how do i know if i need a new radiator cap?

 

if its not holding pressure.

 

I just replace old rad caps out of habit as they are cheap and often overlooked. Most people seem to think they last forever.

 

yeah ill change it this weekend i just figured why change that but if its not holding pressure that might be part of the problem.
