For some reason, there is a lot of pressure building up and making my radiator hose more than double in size! To get the car home, a normal 20 min trip from East Brunswick to Monroe, I had to stop 4 times and bleed the pressure out so it didn't go KAMBOOOOM! Which included going to Lowes (was at Kohls on Rt 18) and buy an 88 cent flat head! hahahaha

I loosen the radiator cap, and now no pressure is building up obviously. I had the radiator flushed and bled. Ever since, it's just holding onto pressure.

Any thoughts? BTW, it's my 1996 Trans Am.
