I'v changed the thermosta. The car over heats and cools itself and shoots back up all on its own, siting still or driving. With the cap off and car hot the fluid runs rite out of the cap.

One way is a block test kit you can get @ a parts store or use a gas analyzer to check for hc reading in the cooling system.
