I have the car listed above that keeps overheating. I have replaced everything but it still keeps bubbling coolant out of the overflow cap. The driving distances vary before it overheats could be a half mile to 10 miles. What else could it be and what is the best way to bleed the air out of the cooling system?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

If you have replaced everything, the next concern is a bad head gasket. What I need you to do is this. Review the tests in the attached link and let me know what you find. Also, I need to know if it overheats when you are at highway speeds.

Also, let me know specifically what has already been replaced.

Take care,
Joe
