Engine Cooling problem
1998 Pontiac Grand Prix 6 cyl Automatic 126700 miles
everything appears to be in good working order .. cooling fans on - new t-stat - new radiator cap - replaced water pump 1.5 yrs ago - flushed system last summer ....... problem: after starting the car and it reaches normal temp, it just keeps getting hotter!! the upper & lower hoses feel very tight (i've relieved the pressure and burped it many times) .. this has been going on for about 3 wks now - after abuot 5-10 minutes of driving, the temp is around 250 .. a friend suggested that maybe it was a gasket & to use a liquid sealant - i did .. nothing has changed except for now the radiator will not drain at all (which it was draining slowly before) ... i really really need help with this one ... PLEASE!!!!!!
