    overheating i need help

    Car is overheating after like 30 minutes driving. I removed thermostat and didn't help. It gets so hot and high on pressure that starts to blow the coolant out. I don't know what else to do. All my hoses are good. Again its pushing the coolant out because of high pressure not leaks. Could it be my radiator?? Cooling fans are on most of the time since I always use the ac. Any other ideas?

    Have you ever replaced the water pump? Had something similar happen to my first 7g years ago replaced it and that problem was fixed.

    ^ Going off qnz's, do you have that orange mud shit in your radiator/reservoir? My girlfriends Taurus has it and it just clogs the hoses and ends up boiling out.

    Yeah lots of rust in there. I replaced the water pump like 40k miles ago. Whats the correct method of bleeding the system?

    Just do this for a good long while to get that shiz out OR put a hose to the fill cap and leave the bottom open to flush the radiator completely lol

    After a few flushes you should get most of it if not all that crap out.

    It may come back, it may not. In my experience I flushed the said Taurus mentioned above a few times and got pretty much all of it out gonna flush it again in about a month. When I last checked the car out it didnt have nearly as much build up so it's a slow process.

    Of course our cars have a drain plug on the radiator but its slow. so I would just take off the bottom hose.

    I was told to put a bottle of vinegar in the radiator to unclog it. Lol will that help?

    I would never do that but thats just me. It could help clean it but I personally would stick to just water.
