=( still overheating....

well today i got my radiator cleaned and fished out nothing still.....i don't know what to do now i put a brand new fan clutch on there, i got a brand new oem mazda thermostat, i got some new thermostat housing, and the water pump is still good because water flows when i rev engine when warmed up.

i've tested for coolant seals but my car doesn't smell like it's burning coolant, i've started my car up on cold and took out the egi fuse....nothing

87 se n/a

Is your cooling system holding pressure properly?

When does it push coolant out the overflow? Instantly? And also, you should NOT have enough pressure to bulge the upper radiator hose.

Well that's simply because it's boiling then, nothing big then. Replace your radiator caps, run the car with no cap for a couple of minutes to get all the air out, top it off, go buy a coolant pressure tester from the local auto parts store, make sure it can hold at least 11psi without bleeding off. If that turns out good, make sure all your hoses are ran properly.

well i had it rodded out, but i was feeling the water pump and it seems like theres nothing but air in there with some water that doesn't feel like it's flowing just feels like it's boiling, the current is suppose to be strong but this **** is weak i guess i need a water pump....
