Overheating can cause this. Air bubbles escaping from the radiator is caused by a blown head gasket.
How do you know when your thermostat and head gasket need to be replaced?
The thermostat needs replacing any time you service the cooling system. You should also replace it if the engine is overheating, and you suspect it is defective. A blown head gasket will exhibit, certain symptoms. Coolant in the oil, white smoke from the tailpipe, overheating, air bubbles coming from the radiator, missing on one or more cylinders, a brown looking foam on the underside of the oil cap. A compression test will help to verify this.

First I would check the fan clutch.Start the vehicle and let it warm up.Then watch the fan as someone else turns it off.If the fan keeps turning,then the clutch on it is bad.Also,make sure the fan shroud is still there and not broken.
How do you get the air out of the radiator system on 95 Geo metro 4 cylinder?
All I do is remove the radiator cap (wait until car is cold and open cap slowly) and start the car. let it warm up. the thermostat will open and begin fully circulting the coolant. if there is any air bubbles in the system they should work theirselves out. another thing to do after the thermostat opens is slowly squeeze on the lower radiator hose, careful not to spew coolant out of the radiator.
1999 Geo Tracker about 3 mo. ago mechanic replaced timing kit 3 gaskets now it overheats after about 10 miles also replaced the radiator Can't use the A.C. it overheats faster temp ga. ok Why?
possible you have air pockets. just before the thermostat housing there is a plug this is used to burp the system, it takes a while just keep adding cool water to the tracker until all the air bubbles are gone or is the timing right? to advanced can cause to much heat, and could be crap in the cooling system flush it.
