I have a 2001 Grand AM that is overheating due the coolant coming out of the overflow. I have flushed the radiator, replaced the waterpump, thermostat, & coolant cap (15 psi rating). The coolant fans are kicking on like they should. The coolant comes out just a few minutes after I start the car. Any suggestions?

You have air in the system that it causing it to overheat. You need to vent the air by using the bleeder screw on the top of the thermostat housing. This is a common problem and it can be very difficult to get the air out of the system. Be patient and bleed it multiple times.
