Anybody?

Ok a week later and still overheating, had a radiator flush,fan working, thermostat installed, system bleed but still cant figure out what it wrong.. Pressured tested, cylinder tested, no water in the spark plugs. Can someone tell me where to go from here it would be so much help, i have minimal...

It has already had a pressure test ..

So any other suggestions that could help with the situation.. i have the mechanic doing a radiator flush and installing the thermostat

So do the bleed test when I have a thermostat, or it wont work correctly. and yup my thermostat got stuck open.. but I thought you can run cars with no tstat or is that no longer possible with newer cars.. Also i need to check my front of the radiator to see if the flow is good and nothing...

The Fan is working and the speed is high.. How can i tell if the radiator is flowing freely? No chunks or sludge, but could the fact that I was just using water be a bad thing for the bleed? there is no thermostat ... Well when my car has the defroster on to vent the motor is blows...

Yup i got it to start shooting out water by the 3rd time ... but then again idk if its cause it start boiling or wat.

Ok just finished the bleed, did it 3 times just to check and goes by pretty good till i rev a lil bit and it starts jumping quickly .. Man idk what else it could be

Ok sorry just trying to get asmuch info as possible.. bought to drop my car off at my friends shop to have him bleed the system, or is it soemthing that i can do quickly in the parking lot at my job?

i havent ran coolant because of the fact when it was leaking i kept losing all my coolant so now im just waiting till this car is fixed.. My buddy told me it could be a resevour cap thats bad, thats why its boiling could that be something or highly unlikely?

im only running water, and my levels are fine and im not losing any.. no puddles behind the driver side. What does it mean when you try to vent the motor and only cold air comes out?

Oh I see, thats great, so am i going to need anything to catch the coolant that comes out of the heater bleed ?

RADKITPLUS kit is what the instructions included.. I do appreciate all the help and advice... im hoping this will take care of the problem, driving in a 110 degree weather with the heater onis no fun

Oh most definetly not ruling it out just in the case that it so happens to not be that.. but from what it sounds like that seems to be a common issue with these cars. Also what is that part in the picture that they use so the special tool. And in the tech forum on here they dont use that tool it...

Other than the bleeding the system, are there any other factors that could lead to the car overheating.. My fan is working, there is still pressure in hoses when on, the other thing that has been brought to my attention is a blown head gasket,but no smoke out of exhaust, no rough idle.. So...
