i would have to suspect a plugged radiator. Did you flush the radiator out real well? If not...i would try that first

Well it seems the spewing has stopped i put 4 lil holes around the thermostat it runs steady just a hair under 200 now. But it takes lil longer to warm up. Problem fixed for now

i would be worrying about what is causing so much pressure in the system. Your heat nice and hot? I dont think a plugged heater core would cause this, but something worth asking. After warming up, temp gauge stays where it should?

Re: 99 grand am gt COLD water spewing

Yes the heater blows just fine and when warm temp stays steady about umm 198 i drove it bout 45 miles and it never moved. The car had bad LIM gasket and same spewing problem when i got it. This past weekend i tore it down and replaced all gaskets above the heads on all cold to warmstarts it spewed water until i drilled holes in T-stat. Other than that car has ran perfectly fine. NO miss or shake car has plenty of power i cruised it around 135 mph and it did fine. This is very weird to me id like to know how where when but its workin so i cant complain considerig i got the car for 300 buks. It was a steal. 4 door 99 gt 3.4 .................
