Questions about radiator caps.
So I deleted my ast. For those who don't agree with it IDC. Anyways I had this problem in the past and have seen it come up several times on this forum. After shut down from a warm running engine my coolant fills the overflow tank till it leaks a bit causing it to lose coolant and I get the annoying buzzer here and there. I'm positive its the radiator cap. I used the one provided with the new neck (FC) and the problems I believe are coming from that cap. I looked up the pressure rating for the cap and it was 13psi. I wanna know y the fc has a 13lbs cap and the 93 uses a 16lbs then the 94 and 95 model list a 13lbs cap? I'm a bit confused y its like that. I checked auto zones website and oriellys and its the same. I'm goona switch back to my 16lb cap.

Read the first paragraph. There was a recall to get rid of the 1.3 bar caps and a .9 bar cap is to be run. Mind you this is with an AST still installed. Because I have not deleted my AST, I am unaware if you are required to run a different cap.

I had the same problem on my car with the overflow bottle. I have an ast but the problem wasnt the caps it was the hose going to the overflow. The hose was old and it would only let coolant go into the tank but would not suck the coolant back out of the tank so it would overfill. Check that hose and the others for old ones replace as necessary.
