after i shut my car off after driving it at least 10 miles it makes a bubbling noise. i opend my hood and saw that it was comming from my coolent overflow resavor. weird thing is that it dosent do this until i shut the car off. also after driving my car about 20/30 miles the overflow almost tops out yet my temp gauge still reads at the same temp as befor i started having this problum. any thoughts / coments / suggestions? anyone willing to take a look at it? i hope its not a blown head gasket

 

have you tried doing a complete flush of the cooling system?

 

sounds like the rad cap is not holding any pressure, try a new cap only cost a few $

 

Check cap and change coolant that should fix yur problem

 

sounds like a plan. ill do that monday n let you know if it works

 

haha yea wow cap was completely done. replaced it flushed system and it runs perfect. thanks for the help i never woulda even thought to check the cap. im a retard

 

glad to see all my honda training is good for something

 

how many psi should that cap hold? the had a 13 and a 16psi and they gave me the 16. reason i ask is my upper radiator hose has so much pressure in it it looks like its about to explode. i dont knopw if thats normal or not but im thinkin its not. could my water pump not be pumpin or did they give me the wrong cap?? kinda havin the opasite problum now befor i would pinch the hose and thered be nothing in it now i cant even pinch it cuz it looks like it will burst.

 

it should be holding pressure honda factory caps are mostly 15psi

 

yea its holding pressure i just wanted to check if the hose is saposed to have so much pressure that you cant pinch it at all or it puffs up thicker than where its clamped. how do you check if your water pump is workin?
