    i just did a coolant flush a few days ago because that isd exactly what mine was doing... which coolant was put in after the flush? if dexcool and the standard green coolant is mixed it will begin to solidify and gunk up causing that to happen. i would let the car cool down and check the radiator cap and make sure there is no gunk on there and check the fluid

    I did a full drain, flushed with water, drained and vaccumed all lines and then added the exact amount of dexcool/water mix as per the instructions.
