Re: RADIATOR help (civicsir94)
So you're saying there's no coolant in your radiator, and it's all going into your overflow?
Get a new radiator (or borrow a friend's to test). radiatorbarn is your friend.

Re: RADIATOR help (civicsir94)
Spend the $5 on a radiator cap. The cap controls the pressure. If you have no pressure in the cooling system when it gets hot the expanded coolant (from the heat) will go to the over flow bottle and overfill it spilling it onto the ground. Now as the motor cools there is less coolant (because you've spilled some) to return to the radiator and so the car will get hot. Good luck.
