car is running hot. atleast the temp gauge in my cluster says so. changed the thermostat. flushed system, checked hoses, and did compression test, and it was fine. Could it be my radiator cap? i looked at it and its pretty nasty, was thinking about goin to a used car dealership i saw and hehehe taking another 240 for a spin and accidently come home with a new radiator cap. ive also heard that when you change the thermostat and flush the system. that you need to release the air pressure from the system, could that be the problem and if so how would i do that?
