What is causing your coolant jug to get overheated in my 99 windstar van?

Ive had a similar problem with another car of mine. The solution was to run the car with the coolant cap open so the air could be pushed through the lines. Ideally you want to run with an open cap until your pump kicks in. This is the process you need to use when you replace a rad or drain all the lines. Don't be worried if you see coolant gushing out of the overflow. It takes about a minute then the overflow will level off and all the air bubbles will stop.

while the engine is cold take the radiator cap off located under the hood in front of the motor. top this off with a coolant mixture of 50% coolant and 50% distilled water. do the same for the reservoir to your left. it is a white jug with a screw on cap beside the radiator. it will have a line on the jug about half way down. do not fill above this line.
