antifreeze circulating problems.. please help..

[lilkrull86]

hey I have a 2000 honda accord 2.3l.. for some reason antifreeze blows out of the radiator cap nd it doesn't seem like my water is circulating (top hose hot, lower cold) I changed my thermostat and my radiator cap.. car never over operating temperature.. what could be the problem???

wait... it never overheats, but the coolant is not flowing?

temp. sensor??

 

[lilkrull86]

it warms up to op temp runs good no getting hot ever nd I drive it kinda hard... temp gauge seems like it works..

how can the car not overheat if u know for a fact tht the coolant is not circulating?

when the car is cool, take off the radiator cap, start the car and watch the coolant.. if it runs, it runs.. if it doesn't, check back with us

replace the cap. my old saturn had that problem

edit: nvmd, read the rest of the thread

I replaced the cap already from Honda... what do you mean if it runs it runs?? like after it warms up the water should agitate

If you can see the coolant circulating when the cap is off come back and tell us.

runs as in the coolant is moving....

ok well I took the cap off nd started it.. it slowly builds pressure nd pushes my coolant out...
