may be a long shot here, check your 2 hoses that go to the radiator. one will be for the overflow, and one will be a vent hose coming from the engine.

the overflow hose needs to be on the top port on the radiator, and the vent hose needs to be on the bottom port. when you look at the radiator cap, look straight down the radiator and youll see what hoses im talking about.
