I have a 1999 chrysler cirrus v6 with just over 200k miles on it. I have recently replaced the radiator, water pump, and freeze plugs. For some reason now, the car overheats faster than before I got it fixed and when it does overheat, pressure builds up in the hose. My reservoir starts to boil also. Can you tell me what this might be.
