[/quote] Yes it will, pressure just raises the boiling point, not the temperature. Roughly three degrees for every pound of pressure. [/quote]
Original Message
It's a Chevy cavalier 2002, keeps overheating up to 230 degrees. The coolant doesn't seem to circulate when the radiator cap is on, I feel hot and cold spots all over. Any ideas?
