car keeps overheating, i drained and rinsed out the radiator two weeks ago and now the car overheats after driving a block or two. i am using a 50/50 pre-mix.

 

did you burp the system?

 

Check your block for oil, Could be a blown heagasket or..

Make sure your thermostat is operating properly or...

make sure your water pump is working...(has it been changed in the life of the car??)

 

Do you have a coolant leak? Does the coolant level stay high enough? It's probably your thermostat.

 

you probably have air bubbles in your system. take off the radiator cap and let the car run. you will notice air bubbles coming up. just keep it on till no air bubbles are present. add coolant as needed

 

chances are your car didn't burb!

follow as instructed:

or make sure your fan is working if not check the relays on it

 

fans are working.

when i pulled over the coolant was coming out of the resivor, not sure about the water pump.

didn't burp it i'll give that a try also.
