Ok, Ive searched, and followed directions, heres the deal. Car was randomly heating up, changed the thermostat. Then coolant was leaking from the hole on the bottom of the water pump, so I changed that. Still heating up and no current really going throught the radiator. So I changed that. Ive bled and rebled the system on a incline, bleeder screw and running till the bubbles stop then capping and tightening the screw. This thing is still heating up! replaced the new thermostat to be sure with another new one. So currently everything has been changed, twice on the thermo. Im now baffled. Anyone have any ideas?Still doesnt seem to be much movement in the radiator and the lower hose is not warming up at all.Thanks
