Coolant boiling over, but temp guage reads normal 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be aviator on  Wed Feb 16 11:38 CST 2005 [RELATED]


My engine temp guage reads normal, but every drive of 30 minutes or longer results in a boil over. The boil over empties the reservoir and the low coolant light comes on. I refill with water or coolant depending on the mixture, trying to maintain a 50/50 mix. I was wondering if the coolant reservoir cap needs to be replaced, because I have seen the coolant boil right from the cap, Should I not use a 50/50 mix, or if the problem is more serious,like the water pump?

Any advice on what to do.

Thanks for the help.
