If you have coolant mixed with air bubbles coming out, you may have a cracked head or a bad head gasket. Have a pressure test done on the cooling system to verify there is a problem.

What does the radiator light on mean in a Honda Accord 95?
The yellow radiator light on your Honda Accord is an indicator of low coolant in the radiator. The red radiator warning light is an indication of the engine overheating.
Where is the coolant temperature sensor on a 2003 Nissan sentra?
If you mean the engine coolant temp sensor it should be on the drivers side of the engine block. Follow your top radiator hose from the radiator to the engine block. near that you should see a sensor (it has a clip on it where the wires attach). I hope my description helps!
What does it mean when it says reduced engine power?
That means the engine is running HOT for some reason. Check the thermostat, Radiator and coolant level. Repair as needed.
Why is coolant coming out through radiator cap on 1993 Pontiac grand am?
If the engine is cold... it could mean that the radiator cap is too weak to hold and you need to get a new one. If the engine is HOT... it could mean that you have overheated it and you need to add water after the engine has cooled a bit, to prevent getting burned, be careful and use a towel to remove the cap to add coolant.
What does reduced power engine mean on 2003 silverado?
That means the engine is overheating. Check in this ORDER. First check coolant level in radiator, if low then Find and FIX the LEAK and refill the system with COOLANT. Check engine FAN clutch, Thermostat, Radiator making sure it is NOT stoped up. You will find your problem in these AREA.
What does it mean when my 2008 silverado says reduced engine power?
That means the engine is over heating / running hot for some reason. Check thermostat, Coolant level in radiator, check for coolant leak on engine somewhere. Fix and repair as needed.
What does it mean when your radiator starts steaming while it is running?
If it's the RADIATOR that's steaming it probably means that you have a leaky radiator. If the cap is steaming it might just mean that you need to replace the radiator cap, but it could mean that the engine is overheating. Check the coolant level and make certain that you do not see evidence of leakage anywhere around the engine or radiator. After the engine has cooled, look for light green powder around the edges of the radiator and around the water pump. This is evidence of leakage.
Can a bad radiator cause water to bubble in the cars reservoir?
No, this could mean you have a cracked head gasket and engine pressure has entered the coolant.
Do you have to drain the engine coolant before replacing a water pump on a 96 cav 2.2 I mean is the coolant going to pore out after I take the pump off?
Most, if not all, the coolant in the radiator reservoir will pour out when you pull the water pump. Drain the radiator and save the coolant (if you plan to re-use it) before removing the water pump.
Does low coolant level and no pressure in the overflow tank mean coolant is leaking into the engine in a 98 olds intrigue?
maybe not. check engine oil for color and quantity. if oil is white to grey, then there is coolant leaking into engine.no pressure might be caused by bad radiator cap.this will also allow coolant to escape
What does it mean when the left side of your radiator was smoking and it damaged the radiator cap when you took it off there was a lot of coolant in the radiator?
Your water pump might be broken or your thermostat might need to be replaced. You obviously don't have a leak so somehow the fluid isn't moving through the engine. If the thermostat is broken it will not let fluid into the engine and then the engine will overheat and the radiator will release smoke.
What does reduced engine power mean?
It means that the engine is running HOT for some reason. Check cooling system real close. Thermostat, Fan clutch, radiator, Coolant leak, Fluid level
