    Did you purge all the air out of the system after the flush? It sounds like an air bubble to me.

        yes, but thats not how you take the air out, there should be a little screw around your thermostat.. let the car get to running temp, then turn the screw, and wait until the coolant flows out as a steady stream

        you only do the rad cap thing on the imports
