So I went to do a coolant flush one day. Let the car cool down. Took the Radiator cap off. And never got around to it. Rushed out the house and forgot to put my cap back on. Lost the OEM cap. Drove to the store and home no problem. Back into my driveway and coolant splashes out and the vapor started to roll. Bought a cheap AutoZone cap, refilled the system with water. And my BullyDog tuner said my coolant temp was 210 degrees after letting it warm up. As if the thermostat never opened. When my fan finally decided to engage it started spraying coolant. And anyone help me? I've been stumped to 2 months now. Thanks!

Any updates? Is it possible you got a cap like the one that's supposed to go on the reservoir instead of the pressure relief cap that goes on the radiator?
