Is the car running good? Sounds like a head gasket, these cars are prone to this issue. Run the car with the overflow cap off and see if you can see bubbles in the resevoir.

Re: Need Help car over heating

i had the same problem, and changed the gasket (there wasnt any breaks in it) but i had a new one anyways.. so i put it in.. only to find out it didnt help the air/heating problem.. im going to have my head pressure checked, cleaned and checked for warpage.. hopefully that will give my car back its compression so i can friggin start it
