Title says it all. I was driving home from the air port the other day and i heard a "POP!" noise...figured it was the guy passing me (he pulled over, looked like a blown tire). well, today, at idle, my temp gauge started to move towards the top real fast-like. now, when i popped the hoood, i noticed that my radiator is making a gurgle noise and fluid is all over the place. help?

Yes, your cap needs to be replaced, and hopefully that's all. I highly recommend OEM though, because I've used some AZ / PA caps that tested horrible for pressure.

Before you start running to AZ, inspect the cap to see if it IS broken. You could have a crack on the radiator instead/also.

yep, it's cracked. it's about an inch long at the top of the rad. replacement suggestions? i plan on swapping my ls/vtec by jan/feb of next year, so what rad should i use (i live in fl, i want ac(i know i'll get flack for that, but i don't have p/s))? uggg, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm planning on picking up this one for my civic once I get a swap...

Great price, and it will even fit an automatic car because it has the built in transmission cooler...
