coolant issues?

[toddmsc]

i have bled the coolant multiple times...

i have noticed that the lower hose is cold no matter what..but the car never overheats so i replaced the thermostat and didnt change anything... like its just no opening..

both hoses have extreme amount of pressure but the thermo just never opens and with the rad cap off there is no noticeable flow which leads me to think this..

another question i have is the thermostat housing doesnt have a nipple to drain the fast idle so where would i then connect this to?

thank you all

Sounds like your thermostat is stuck open. They could have sold you a bad one off the shelf. i've seen it happen.

but i boiled it to make sure its good.... and both hoses have extreme amounts of pressure leading me to believe its just stuck closed? or something isnt allowing it to open...

ive stumped myself this time...
