Over Heating

I have done everything everyone has said in other threads and nothing seems to work. My 94 camaro keeps over heating. I have flushed the whole system and refilled to right level. I kept repeating the filling and blead screws and the car still over heats. But when I shout the car off from ever heating I hear a floping sound inside the rad. and all my water is coming out of the over flow can anyone help me on the subject. The water pump was just replaced about a year ago.

We don't know what "everyone has said in other threads" is. List what you have done, so people don't suggest the same thing over again.

Perhaps you overfilled it, which is why it boils over into the overflow...hence overflow...Did it do this before you flushed it? And did you flush it properly...such as removing both drain plugs, not just the radiator.

Do your fans work?
what thermostat do you have?
Have you tried running the car with out the thermostat?
Did you visually check the flow through the radiator (while car runnning)?
Is your radiator clean of bugs/papers/plastic bags?

Tagging onto a thread almost a year old confuses people. Better to start your own.

Lol, wow this thread is old........lol, hey do a bubble test on the cooling system. Take a bottle of water and place the overflow tube in to it with the engine running and at opperating temp, make sure u have the radiator cap on and if u see a large amount of bubbles flowing from the overflow tube chances are u have a head gasket problem.
