i had the same problem a few weeks ago, i had a crack on the radiator so i bought a new one a replaced it. the engine is quieter now. But the problem is that i don't think i hooked it up right becuz sometimes when i turn on the engine, it would start reving by itself and it stops after 5 minutes or when i start driving. does n e one know how to fix this?

You don't see any leaks? Radiator's aren't designed to steam, so that indicates a problem there. Look for any green or white discolored spots on the radiator. Im guessing it's time for a new radiator, hoses & thermostat recommened. You could always have do a pressure test on the cooling system - usually shows leaks.
