Weird Cooling Problem...
ok well.. check this out... i start my car.. let it warm up all the way to the middle of the Temp Gauge which is the normal temp and good. ok fine good... so i roll outta the drive way and like 15 secs later the Temp needle is at like H.. ok wtf.. so i continue to drive and it dies down back to middle like in 15 secs... ok all is good... meanwhile this is happening i know the coolant is being pushed outta the system and into the overflow... i stick my finger in the overflow.. Coolant inside the tank is cold... so wtf?
next after that i pop open the radiator cap.. slowly.... and steam aplenty... and also hot coolant... so what gives?
its not a blown coolant seal because i did the Geyser test as well as the exhaust check.. doesnt burn coolant neither.. my guess would be maybe air in the coolant system.. if so how do i get rid of it.?
my car is a 1989 GXL...
thanks guys

X2delight mine was doing the same thing and then I lost a coolant seal. It would start then go to hot then cool down. Not sure what the problem was but it cost me a rebuild.

it may be your fan as well, my car would do this i i realized that my fan wasnt switching on properly and i also had some small coolant leaks, i put in a new Koyo radiator, it runs great and holds its temp right or a little below the halfway point on the guage and Im not running a fan either. Check your thermostat as well as it could be that too.
