Drove it to work today for the first time. Roughly a 45 minute drive mostly freeway. As I got to work I realize the overflow coolant tank was boiling water over. The car wasn't overheating but I never seen a car do that. Anyone have input. I'm thinking its either thermostat , air in the system, or radiator cap. My coolant tank is full. I need to empty it out.

Changed out my thermostat and radiator cap and the overflow tank still boils. I will be getting a combustion gas sniffer to see if my headgasket is blown. It wasn't blown before my swap and after my swap the motor hasn't been rev pasted 3k. Could it be my waterpump? I don't see any leaking coolant on the floor. Hope its nothing major.

I acquired at 96 manual sc300 Ecu and hopefully I have all of the pins that need to be moved around correct. Will let you guys know after I install the Ecu. Hopefully I won't have a check engine light anymore. Crossing my fingers.
