Temp gauge runs high, I see no leaks but coolant level goes down, when I start with radiator cap off water shoots out, when I start wit cap on water bubbles and shots out overflow. Heat works real good.

I suspect a crack in the head or block. The cooling system is suppose to be closed so any air has to be coming from somewhere - if the head gasket is good then the air is likely to be coming from a crack. A pressure test will confirm if your system is not air tight. That is if you are seeing bubbles in the radiator water if you just mean you are losing water through the overflow then it might just be the radiator cap needs replacing as it is not sealing the system when it gets hot.

What dose this mean is it a relay or the computer. I have read alot about the pcm needing re-programed is this something the Chrysler deal should take care of it seem to be happening to alot of people.

SOURCE: coolant coming out of the overflow spout after shutting down.

It appears the tank system is(overflow) is is doing its job, but the cooling aystem is releasing too much and ytying to recover every bit ejen it cools down. Ck the radiator cap pressure rating. It shoul be between 12 and 4 lbs. Hane the old cap checkrd or just get a new one. If it's not the cap, The next thing is whether or not you have a pressurization of the cooling sysrem due to combustion leakage. This can also be tested for be a shop when the cap is tested, You can chk for that yourself by doing the following. Get a container filled with clear clean water. Submerge the overflow recovery hose end in the container. The end taht was in the recovery tank. Make sure your cooloing system/radiator is full and start your engine. Let everything stabilize. Watch your container for bubbles that contain smoke. Little snoky bubles and coolant being added to your container. If either is present you have a head gasket lea or a bad head pressurizing the cooling system.. And yes, you will end up with an overheated engine with a fever. So if there are any more Questions, feel free to ask.

The header tank bubbles when I start my 1998 freelander 20T2n engine

check your radiator fluid to see if it has oil in it, and check your oil to see if it has radiator fluid in it that's a common problem with a head gasket leak, also if you notice a lot of steam coming out of your exhaust because it can get through to the piston and burn the antifreeze, but if it's bubbling in your overflow tank it might just be a bad radiator cap keep that in mind good luck

92 chevy lumina,car starts but wont idle.overFlow

If you see bubbles in your overflow tank, it is either overheating or (more probably) it has a blown head gasket. How long after engine cold start do the bubbles show?
A compression test could tell you more about the head gasket condition. You can also have the coolant tested against CO2 contamination.
Sometimes you can see oil on the surface of the coolant in the overflow tank when the head gasket is blown (check this with cold engine).

If the car is running, you can probably rule out a head gasket. And even if it were a head gasket problem, you'd probably see the coolant level drop and have white smoke coming out of your exhaust. Have you removed the radiator cap and checked the fluid level inside the radiator? The coolant recovery tank is usually connected by a rubber tube to a vent on the side of the radiator fill mouth, and nothing flows through that tube unless the cooling system pressure increases beyond the pressure rating of the radiator cap, or radiator coolant level drops below the full level, in which case additional coolant from the recovery tank will be drawn into the radiator. This does not normally happen until the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the thermostat has opened, allowing coolant to flow through the radiator in order to keep the coolant for overheating. Again, check the radiator level. If it's OK, don't worry about it.

Are you noticing any puddles under your truck? You can buy or possably rent a pressure tester that you just remove the radiator cap and hook the tester up in it's place and pump up the cooling system and watch for leaks. If there are no puddles it must be leaking into the engine from a leaky head gasket or intake manifold gasket. Do you notice excess steam or white smoke from your exhaust? Does your oil look milky? If it does water is leaking into the crankcase. Does it run rough at all? You can start your truck with the radiator cap off and watch for bubbles. If you see alot of bubbles it could be exhaust or compression gasses which would confirm a bad head gasket or cracked head.

Just installed a radiator and the car is not running hot but after driving for awhile you here a bubbling noise comming from under the hood

You may still have air in the system, and it is rising out of the engine, to the cap, then possibly to the expansion tank. With the engine COLD, remove the cap, start the car and let it run for a few minutes, shut it off and wait for about 10 minutes this will allow trapped air to evacuate from the system. Re check the cooling system expansion tank for proper level.

Bubbles in overflow tank and no heat

Is the car also overheating. This could be a possible head gasket problem. Easyly detected by doing a block test.

Coolant coming out of the overflow spout after shutting down.

about 100K miles? sounds like a blown head gasket is allowing coolant to be pushed out the exaust,and combustion pressure is pushing fluid out the overflow.have your compression tested.
