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?

 

your radiator prob broke, take it out and look for cracks. wheres is coming from?

 

replace cap NOW
before you end up having to do more than just that

 

it's coming out of the top, close to the cap. i'll have to run over to AZ and get one i guess

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...

 

i'm just going to buy a koyo dual core. the rents are paying for it
&lt;---- hoorah for the college budget! thanks for the help though
