My daughter's car overheats and shots coolent out the overflow hose.

Radiator does not leak.
Cooling Fan Operates normally.
Thermostat operates normally,
the oil is clean-no coolant.
the coolant is clean-no oil.

The coolant gets so hot it steams into the overflow bottle. A couple of times, it blew the over-flow hose off and coolant gussed out.

The engine will over heat periodically.

The engine hesitates, occassionally, when accellerating from a dead stop.

As you drive, the temperature of the heater varies between hot and cold.

If you start the engine with the radiator cap off, coolant gusses upward like a fire hose.

Help me....I'm thinking blown head gaskets or worse.
