overheating ic

[Ryda85]

so i take the sy out for a little ride...do some wot runs, pull over and smell coolant burning. i dont see anything wet. i pop open my ic and the liquid inside starts overflowing so i quickly put the cap back on.....but the ic was ice cold on top....after a minute or 2 i reopen it and feel the water inside and its cool....not warm at all.

any ideas?

Re: overheating ic

What is your IC setup? Completely stock?

The aftermarket pumps can build up some decent pressure and the water will come out with some force when you first pop the cap. You said it was hot - is it the stock pump? It may have just kicked on and started to cool the water.

Did you see coolant anywhere else before you opened the cap? When was the last time you replaced the IC cap?

Re: overheating ic

There has to be some thing more to it than that. Boiling one minute and cool the next.... Maybe there is some thing flaky with the pump or wiring. Maybe the pump is not flowing enough and once you stopped the truck it caught up? Just trying to be helpful but you probably know about this already……
