Did your car overheat? Did you pop your head gasket? Does your engine crank? Give us more to work with.

I followed this link http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=263723, my radiator busted just like the one in the link. All my lines/holes are connected back to the intake and radiator. My friend said it sounds like it has a lot of air in it. I tired top it off to get the air out but no luck.

So you fixed the problem?

after a coolant flush i would always fill the radiator up with coolant and the jack the front of the car up and run it, wait until you see no more air bubbles,then fill the radiator up as necessary. this would make the trapped air rise to the top and out of the engine block and make more coolant go in.
just an FYI tis all.

Ur car should start, unless u disconnected something.

Ur suppose to fill to the top, while car is off, then once the car starts u remove the bleeder screw and top it off while the car is running, u know all the air is out once u get a stream of water free of bubbles coming out of the bleeder hole.

Once my car had an air bubble right where the CTS was at and my car wouldnt start, had to remove it to release air.

PostSubject: Update on Radiator trouble   Radaitor trouble Icon_minitimeMay 17th 2009, 3:26 pm

For those who haven't read the previous "Radiator Trouble" here's a recap. My radiator blow out and I replaced it. Drove to the gas station three blocks away (turn the car offf), then went back home and chilled for awhile(turn the car off again). Then tried to go to the store, but the car wouldn't start. Many ppl on here have given me good reason why the car isn't starting but, today I found that there's a connector that is not pluged up and some wires that look cut. I have some pics, please help or give any postive feedback.

Still having issues? You check your starter? My starter fried out. I think coolant from my heater core was leaking on it. I replaced my starter and so far so good.
